The Volunteers
Welcome to your teenage years. Sure there are things you’ve been enjoying: MP3s, DVDs, cool clothes, perhaps? Spending time on the phone, IM chatting on the computer or just hanging out with friends? All of these are good and fine. But there is something else you can be doing as well that would make a real difference; a difference in your life and in the life of a very special child. The kind of thing that will add incredible amounts of joy and meaning to all of the other stuff you’ve got going on.
In a nutshell...
It’s about volunteering some of your time for a child in your neighborhood who really needs a friend — a child with special needs. It’s about the amazingly fun times and the incredible feelings of accomplishment you will enjoy while you’re at it. And it’s about the fringe benefits that come along with being a part of the circle.

The Mileage Program
For teens who go the extra mile
 The Friendship Circle has its own "mileage rewards" program for teen volunteers. In addition to the incredible rewards that volunteering provides, Friendship Circle volunteers acquire highly prized "status gifts" that mark milestones in volunteer hours. The Mileage Program is a web-based tool where volunteers log their friendship visits, communicate with staff, and redeem their "miles/points" for a variety of promotional items.
