Young adults with special needs enjoy a wide range of weekly programs aimed at facilitating socialization with peers and young adult volunteers. The goal of this program is to give young adults with special needs the opportunity to make friends and hang out outside of the home in a fun, safe and relaxed environment.

Each month offers a rotation of the programs listed below

This program facilitates quality 'one-on-one' time between young adult volunteers and young adults with special needs, affording everyone the opportunity to experience the joy and companionship of friendship. The pair get together in the city on a consistent basis and explore all that NYC has on offer!

The yearly membership payment will give participants access to everything going on at FCYA! Members will have access to all our weekly programs and special events with no other cost of participation*.

Membership is $360 for the year. This provides exclusive access to 33+ programs & events that we have planned for the next 12 months.

To encourage maximum participation in the program, we have kept the membership fee as low as possible, and we rely on the generous support of the community to help bridge the gap. That being said, scholarships are available for those that need it and nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.

*The only program where members may incur an additional cost is Friendship Foodies (monthly social outings to kosher restaurants around the city), where appetizers are on us, and everyone is free to order and pay for their own main.
