Bar/Bat Mitzvah

Volunteer Project

OVERVIEW 

Friendship Circle NYC presents a unique, late night, Bat Mitzvah Project for 11, 12 and 13 year old girls (a volunteer basketball tournament is being planned for the boys, details to follow). A fun and meaningful opportunity to give back and make a difference in the lives of kids with special needs in preparation for the coming of age milestone. 

A PEEK AT THE SCHEDULE

Packing care packages. Planning a carnival for special children. Creating sensory bottles. Baking cakes to donate. Hearing from a special Mom. Pizza party. So much more!

Following the evening of volunteering, the Mitzvah Project group will have the opportunity for hands-on volunteering running an exciting carnival for children with special needs.

HOW DO I JOIN THE PARTY?

All Mitzvah project members will have their very own custom-made fundraising page on which these young philanthropists can invite family and friends to participate in their volunteering efforts by donating to the cause (view last year's project). The fundraising minimum to gain access to the late-night Mitzvah volunteer project and carnival is $1000/person.

Session 1 - December:
