Friendship Circle staff cannot provide bathroom support, behavioral intervention, or 1:1 supervision or support. The ratio for the Adult Social Programs is 1 staff to 5 participants. If a participant typically requires 1:1 support, we will ask that the family provide the 1:1 support person. Friendship Circle does not currently have 1:1 volunteers for this age group. We are actively working to expand our adult volunteer pool. If you have questions about the level of support that you or your participant needs and what our staff and volunteers can provide, please contact [email protected].
