The Friends Network. Inc. is a voluntary not-for-profit organization founded in 1997 dedicated to the promotion and cultivation of social relationships, recreation and life management skills for children and adults with developmental disabilities. The Friends Network provides people with disabilities the opportunity for community integration and friendships through a variety of structured social and educational activities.

In order to achieve our goals, The Friends Network provides social opportunities for adults with disabilities through weekend trips, cultural events, outings to restaurants, movies and dance clubs.  The activities are held at various locations throughout Westchester and Putnam Counties. The Friends Network also offers an After School program for children with disabilities. Friends is a unique organization giving children and adults with disabilities the opportunity for friendship which would not occur in an informal setting.
