My Friendship Circle Story: A Teen Friend Shares the Personal Impact of Friendship Circle

May 2024

By Isabelle Levine, Friendship Circle Teen Friend

A few months ago, I joined Friendship Circle thinking I'd be doing a good deed.

But it turns out, I gain way more than I give. I get to meet Kieran every week — she's the funniest, kindest person! We do crafts, tell stories, and just hang out. It's become the highlight of my week.

Friendship Circle connected me not just with Kieran, but with a whole community of teens and special friends. It's a place where I can totally unwind from school stress and just have a blast with a friend.

What surprises me most is how much we learn from each other. Kieran's patience and communication skills are amazing. We might spend ages deciding on an activity, or wait for each other to finish drawings. It's taught me so much about friendship.

Friendship Circle is a truly special and fulfilling experience. I'm so grateful to be a part of it!
