Friends Connect Foundation

Friends Connect Foundation helps teenagers with special needs build confidence, new friendships and an improved sense of belonging through free fitness, self-expression, music and social activities such as dance lessons, reading with bunnies, art, gardening, cooking, field days, ice skating, community service, games and more. At each event, volunteer “buddies” are paired with a special needs participant to be their host, guide and friend while helping them engage in modifiable activities. We primarily serve residents of Monmouth County ages 12 through 21 years old and host events all year long. All participants and volunteers must register in advance at https://friendsconnectfoundation.org/register. To learn more, please visit https://friendsconnectfoundation.org
