Kids Programs

This weekly program brings meaningful connection right to your home. Every week, two dedicated teen volunteers visit your child, creating a warm and joyful environment filled with companionship, laughter, and fun. Whether in-person or over Zoom, Friends @ Home is designed to offer your child enriching experiences in the comfort of familiar surroundings. At the same time, our volunteers gain invaluable insights into the power of friendship and the joy of giving back. Choose the day and time that works best for your family, and let us bring the magic of friendship to you.
