How does Janis Elspas’s involvement with #FCLA impact special needs communities?

Janis Elspas’s involvement with Friendship Circle of Los Angeles (FCLA) supports special needs kids and young adults in a few meaningful ways.

FCLA is a unique nonprofit that pairs volunteers (including Janis’s teen triplets) with children and teens who have special needs, offering friendship, social experiences, and respite for families. By publicly nominating FCLA for programs like the Huggies community grants and highlighting their work on social media, Janis helps:

• Raise awareness of the needs and strengths of special needs communities
• Direct funding and resources toward inclusive programs
• Encourage other families and teens to volunteer and get involved
