JOIN US. TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A MORE INCLUSIVE WORLD.
OUR MISSION
Creating opportunities for inclusion and friendship for people of all abilities by providing inclusion awareness, education, and activation strategies, while inspiring and leading the next generation to build a more inclusive world.
OUR STORY
Score A Friend was founded in 2012 by, Sarah Greichen, a 13-year-old girl in pursuit of her Girl Scout Gold Award. Sarah’s twin brother, Jacob, has an Autism Spectrum Disorder and his lack of inclusion in their schools and community left him isolated and without friendship or purpose. Sarah’s original project goal was to find Jacob a friend. This experience led her to create Score A Friend, a nonprofit dedicated to building inclusive schools and communities.
