We've Got Friends (WGF) is a program that provides hangouts for teens with special needs. It's a simple idea that has an enormous impact on the children and families who participate. Most teens with special needs do not have a social circle; they have few friends and rarely get invited to parties or social gatherings in contrast to their peers.

This program helps these teens develop their very own social groups through music, meals, movement, crafts, dance, and more. WGF is currently raising money to underwrite the costs to operate groups and continue providing services to families throughout New Jersey for FREE.
