Why Start A Chapter

Our chapters are multi regional collaborations between towns and school districts, created and led by young people,so our members and volunteers create friendships from all geographical locations!


Starting a Fantastic Friends chapter is the most rewarding feeling in the universe! Chapters celebrate everyone’s uniqueness and provide the gift of friendship and a second home to many people with special needs.

Join us on our global mission to create meaningful friendships among people with special needs and volunteers through our fun and monthly social events! Everyone deserves a Fantastic Friend!

A Fantastic Friends staff member will help you step by step in setting up your own chapter!
