Between Friends

Between Friends Between Friends facilitates programs with these goals in mind while promoting a focus on shared interests over individual differences.

Many people with disabilities seek social and recreational activities that are fundamental to enriching self-esteem, quality of life, and mental and physical health. Between Friends offers children, youth and adults a variety of programs that remove the barriers of isolation and truly function as the building blocks of friendship. We encourage diversity by connecting our community with their fellow citizens with disabilities, providing ongoing development and benefitting all people through the sharing of unique talents and perspectives

Today, we join the United Nations in celebrating International Volunteer Day, recognized every year on December 5. This year’s theme: Every Contribution Matters, couldn’t ring more true.

At Between Friends, we see the impact of volunteerism every single day. Our community is strengthened not only by our program volunteers, but also by those who nurture our garden, help keep our camps welcoming and well-maintained, and support us in countless other meaningful ways. Every hour shared and every task completed helps create spaces where our members can explore, connect, and thrive.

Volunteers don’t just help us deliver programs. They help create moments of connection, confidence, and joy. Their contributions, big and small, add up to something powerful.

To all who share their time, energy, and heart with Between Friends: your contribution truly matters. Thank you for standing with us and helping build a community where people of all abilities can thrive.

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, today is the perfect day to get involved. Your time makes a difference.

Today, we recognize the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This day is a global reminder of something we live every day at Between Friends: inclusion isn’t an add-on, it’s a way of community.

More than 1 billion people worldwide experience disability, and each person deserves spaces where they are welcomed, valued, and able to fully participate.

At Between Friends, we see the incredible impact of belonging in every program, every campfire conversation, every shared laugh, and every new friendship that takes root. Inclusion changes lives, and it strengthens our communities.

Today, December 3rd, we invite you to join us in celebrating the voices, talents, and contributions of people with disabilities. Let’s keep building a community where everyone gets to show up exactly as they are and be part of something meaningful.

Inclusion is for all of us. Today and every day.
