The Friendship Foundation

The Friendship Foundation supports parents and families who have children and young adults (ages 8-35+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities, by providing a safe, accepting and inclusive environment where they can enjoy sports, art, music and many other social programs with their peers. Our friendly staff and helpful volunteers create a fun experience for all. It is our belief that every person is precious and capable of love, connection and friendship. Programs are targeted to specific age groups while some encompass a broad gathering of all ages including parents. At each program, children with special needs are paired with student volunteers for an event full of fun peer interaction. The Friendship Foundation serves to augment our local educational systems and professional therapies by creating a natural setting for individuals with special needs to practice their learned skills amongst their peers. We are building the Friendship Campus in Redondo Beach, set to open in mid-2025. This unique campus will have revolutionary technology and programs that will enable young adults to explore and train for jobs and vocations of their dreams. We are changing the world, one friendship at a time. Please join us.
