Building a Brighter Future: Friends of Children With Special Needs

Join us at Friends of Children With Special Needs on our six-year journey to support individuals with special needs and their families. Our mission is to provide hope, love, respect, and support through integrated community involvement. With over 800 families benefiting from our programs, we continue to turn worries into positive action. Our Dream Project involves creating a Supportive Village led by parents, offering comprehensive programs and nearby housing. The Fremont Dream Center and the San Jose Satellite Center are just some of the 40+ initiatives we have established in the Bay Area. Our living services include supported, independent living, and daily skills training. Our ultimate goal is to create multiple Dream Villages as a national and international model, promoting meaningful employment and happiness within the special needs community.
