What is New Friends?
For people with special needs, developing friendships can often be tough.
In response to this, teens from Divine Savior Academy have developed a friendship group called New Friends. This friendship group aims to create an atmosphere where everyone who attends can hang out and develop friendships in an atmosphere of 100% love and acceptance.
At a New Friends event, young people, with and without special needs, join together to enjoy various activities like games, music, crafts, and snacks. The focus is on having fun and developing new friendships in a safe, judgment-free environment.
New Friends currently meets one Sunday afternoon per month at Divine Savior Academy. First-time attendees will be asked to register. Parents may either drop off their child or stay for the get-together, depending on the comfort level of parent and child.
