One campus. Unlimited belonging.
The Soul Center and LifeTown buildings will form a unified 6.5-acre campus dedicated to inclusion, opportunity, and community — a place where adults with special needs thrive far beyond their youth program years.
Adults need us, too.
Friendship Circle, bolstered by the community’s steadfast support, operates LifeTown — a state-of-the-art educational and activity center that hosted over 35,000 participants this year. Central to its success are 1,500 teen and adult volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and love to families of children with special needs.
But many adults with special needs face challenges and isolation after youth programs end. Friendship Circle has responded with adult-focused initiatives that have been met with overwhelming demand — underscoring the urgent need for expanded support.
Right next door.
The building next to LifeTown presents an extraordinary opportunity to seamlessly expand these programs. Acting now will enable the creation of a transformational space that ensures ongoing support and life-changing opportunities for individuals and families.
Together, the Soul Center and LifeTown will form the nation’s most ambitious inclusion campus — a single home for programs that span from early childhood through adulthood.
