Friendship Circle is a global organization dedicated to creating communities where children, teens, and young adults with disabilities can experience belonging. The initiative was founded under the leadership of Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the Lubavitcher Rebbe), pairing high school students with disabled youth to foster meaningful relationships, promote inclusion, and provide enriching experiences for all participants.

The first Friendship Circle chapter was established in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, and since then, the model has inspired over 80 chapters worldwide, including locations across the United States, Canada, and beyond. Each chapter operates with the shared mission of building bridges between individuals of all abilities while addressing the unique needs of their local communities.

At Friendship Circle of Dallas, we are proud to be part of this larger network, striving to create a community where everyone has a friend, and all individuals, regardless of ability, can thrive. Together, with the support of our generous donors, families, and the greater Dallas area, we are building a world of inclusion, friendship, and opportunity.
