Every Person Has Value
We are facilitating change in Lane County for children and youth with complex disabilities.
About Us
Our Mission
Circle of Friends was founded on one simple concept: children and youth with severe disabilities are just like anyone else – they deserve opportunities. Through resources, support, training, and a community built on compassion, we’re here to break the cycle of isolation for these individuals and the people who love them.

What People Say
Through their creativity and hearts for service, the CoF team has brought inclusion, friendship, community, and what seems to be an unlimited amount of energy to families across all walks of life. However, it is one particular attribute of this organization that we are eternally grateful for – and that is their ability to see our daughter for exactly who she is: the beautiful, unique, adventurous child who deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop meaningful relationships.
