Friendship Circle of San Diego on Saxony Road in Encinitas has provided social, educational, and vocational programming for individuals with disabilities and their families since its 2005 founding, operating under IRS EIN 20-3472700 with a 93-percent Charity Navigator accountability score. The nonprofit pairs specially trained teen and adult volunteers with individuals who have developmental and intellectual disabilities for weekly activities and community celebrations, a peer-inclusion model that complements the clinical intervention programs at Easterseals Southern California in Encinitas. Programming serves approximately 150 families across San Diego County, with most services provided at no cost through donor support and grant funding. An annual Friendship Fair and Walk brings together the broader Encinitas community for resource booths, food vendors, and entertainment, doubling as a fundraiser and a public-awareness event for disability inclusion. Volunteer recruitment channels teen participants through local high schools, building service-hour portfolios while connecting young people to the developmental-support ecosystem that includes pediatric therapy providers like Believe Pediatric Therapy in Encinitas. The organization's NTEE classification under code P82 (Developmentally Disabled Services/Centers) positions its programming within the IRS-recognized continuum of habilitation, socialization, and community-integration services for individuals across the full disability spectrum.
