Program Selection: Please note that programs are based on availability. We will try to accommodate you to one of your preferred choices of programs.

All new 7th and 8th grade volunteers must attend the Mitzvah Volunteer Project before joining our team. This is a four week orientation program that teaches volunteers how to interact with children with special needs, appropriate conduct when volunteering and the importance of giving back to the community. At the end, volunteers will do a group Mitzvah project and then join our weekly programs. We run this program in October and January. After submitting this form we´ll get in touch with you to give you all the details.

Please indicate which programs you would like to volunteer for. You can participate in more than one!

If you are a returning volunteer let us know who were you paired with last year (it can be more than one friend)

The Friendship Circle provides very special and unique opportunities for volunteers, special friends, and both sets of families to enrich the lives of each other. In doing so, some participants may encounter new and sometimes challenging situations. Thus, it is imperative to set expectations in the beginning so that volunteers, special friends, and parents understand what they can expect. Please take a moment to read over and check the boxes below each guideline that establishes safety and promotes friendship based on mutual respect and personal well-being for everyone involved in our program. You/your child may not be involved in a specific program referenced; however you may be involved at some point during the year so please acknowledge by checking every statement.

I understand that participation in this program is entirely voluntary and requires participants to abide by applicable rules and standards of conduct, to use their best judgment and sense of responsibility when volunteering in all program and events, and to serve as a role model to our special friends and other volunteers.
