​Circle of Friends (CoF) is a school inclusion program for students

who experience social isolation due to disability or other challenges.    

Through weekly lunches and meaningful activities students develop 

compassion and the understanding that they are more alike than different.

CoF promotes a culture of acceptance and genuine friendship.

• Provides strategies and support to help teachers connect with their students.

• Inspires compassion and self-advocacy to create student-led change.

• Improves student engagement, teacher morale, and school climate.
