Enjoy the best
friendship club together
The Friendship Club is a program designed to help kids learn how to make and be a friend. We start at the elementary level because we know that’s where it all starts. Kids are learning who they are, and they want to fit in. We teach them how to accept themselves and others exactly as they are.
Friendship Club Commitments
There are 4 things the kids commit to do before they can join The Friendship Club. If the kids commit to do these 4 things, they are given a friendship bracelet to wear every day at school. The bracelets are like a flag. They signal to others “I am going to do my best to be kind. I’m a safe person. I will be your friend.” They are also a reminder that there is nothing wrong with them. They are interesting and worthy of love and friendship.
BE A FRIEND
We talk about what qualities we want in a friend and how we can become a good friend to others
BE YOURSELF
We are all unique and we want to celebrate that! We don’t need to change ourselves to fit in.
BE BRAVE & MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Sometimes its scary to put yourself out there and make new friends. We help kids know what to do when they get rejected, how to find “your people,” and how to go about making new friends.
BE KIND TO EVERYONE
No matter what, we can always be kind. You don’t even have to like someone to be kind to them.
REQUEST A FRIENDSHIP CLUB DAY
Our first goal is to reach every elementary school in our local district. That is 50 schools. Our hope is that the program will continue to grow and reach every child in Utah. We are working on expanding the program to include middle school, junior high, and high school.
