OUR MISSION
Unlocking
human
potential.
Our Goal is to elevate the lives of those with
special needs, and help them integrate with the
greater community.
Our New Campus is designed to be a safe
and inspirational place where people with special
needs will engage with others to develop life skills,
interpersonal relations, personal interests, and
training in vocations and careers.

OUR STORY
Transforming lives,
one friendship
at a time. The Friendship Foundation was founded 15 years ago by Rabbi
Yossi Mintz and the Jewish Community Center Chabad of the South
Bay with the goal of providing children with special needs the same
advantages as their peers to enjoy and experience life.
We developed programs that allow children with and without special
needs to play, grow, develop and thrive together.
The success and growing demand we’ve seen have expanded our
vision to include our innovative new campus, a facility centered
around turning special needs into special contributions to society.
5
THE NEED
178,511
students are enrolled in special
education in Los Angeles County.
75%
of high school graduates with
disabilities don’t meet 4-year
college admittance
requirements.
8 IN 10
Americans with disabilities
are unemployed.
The need is clear. Our inclusive
campus will provide vocational
training and job placement, and
allow these students to transform
the workforce and society.
*According to 2017-2018 CDC and EdData estimates.
