Education

At Friendship Circle UES we equip teen volunteers with knowledge, context and skills to help foster a more wholesome volunteer experience. Educational seminars, mandatory skill training sessions and perspective shifting disability awareness events have a lasting impact on the volunteers and the community at large.

Leadership

The teen leadership board and the teen ambassadors board are made up of a crew of 11th and 12th grade volunteers who share a deep commitment to the Friendship Circle mission and have displayed high-level leadership qualities. The boards meet monthly to plan events, develop marketing strategies, liaise between the volunteer base and the FC staff and help take Friendship Circle to the next level!

Young Heroes of NYC
