JOIN US. TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A MORE INCLUSIVE WORLD.
OUR MISSION
We create opportunities for lifelong friendships by bringing people of all abilities together in schools and communities.
OUR STORY
Score A Friend was founded in 2013 by, Sarah, 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 without friends. Sarah’s original project goal was to find Jacob a friend. She ended up founding Score A Friend, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for lifelong friendships by bringing people of all abilities together in schools and communities. Score A Friend envisions an inclusive world where people of all abilities lead happy and purposeful lives, together.
