For all new families interested in joining Friendship Circle there is a 3 step process to get started.
REGISTER FOR AN INTAKE MEETING
Friendship Circle requires all new families to participate in an intake meeting with their child/ren before registering for our programs. You will meet with the Program Director or Family Support Specialist to discuss the programs available for your child. The Friendship Circle staff will complete an informal assessment to determine appropriate placement in the programs. The intake meeting is an appropriate time to ask questions or share any concerns you may have. Intake meetings are generally held once a week.

REGISTRATION FOR PROGRAMS
Once you have participated in an intake meeting you can now register your child/ren for programs. You will be filling out two forms; a detailed medical emergency form which is filled out yearly and our program registration form. The program registration form can be used through the year for registering for various programs.
PAIRING OF VOLUNTEERS
Once your registration has been accepted, our volunteer coordinators will work on pairing a suitable teen volunteer with your child. Depending on the program selected and the time of year you have registered there may be a delay of 1-2 weeks before your child will be able to participate in programs.
