The Friendship Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Redondo Beach, California, that supports families with children and young adults aged 8 and up who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. It offers a safe, inclusive environment where participants can engage in sports, art, music, and other social activities alongside peers. Programs are organized by age, though some events bring participants together across ages and include parents, with children who have special needs paired with student volunteers to foster peer interaction. The foundation aims to complement local education and therapies by providing real-world settings to practice learned skills and is developing a Friendship Campus in Redondo Beach expected to open in early 2026 to support job exploration and training for young adults. Recent coverage notes expansion of the organization's facilities to the South Bay region in Florida, signaling growth beyond its California base. The reports reference a forthcoming campus project in that region, in addition to ongoing development of the Redondo Beach campus.
