About F2F: Our Mission »»
Friend 2 Friend Social Learning Society (F2FSLS) is a not-for-profit organization established in 2002. Our mission is to enhance reciprocal social interaction, communication, imaginative play, and friendships between individuals on the autism spectrum (and related social, communication and play needs) and their typically developing peers. To meet our mandate F2FSLS provides a broad variety of unique and innovative programs and services to children and adults in schools and other community settings throughout BC, Canada and the US.
Our Mission
To foster mutual friendships between individuals on the autism spectrum and their peers by providing programs and services that promote understanding, acceptance and empathy of autism and to support all children to develop to the best of their abilities through the play and socialization that friendships offer.
Our Vision
To provide sustainable community programs and services that foster an understanding of the many challenges experienced by individuals with autism spectrum and to support our community to embrace all persons with ASD as valuable, contributing members.
Our Values
All children need friends. We strive to create and deliver universally accessible programs and services that embrace diversity and equality using inclusive, sensitive, age-appropriate, fun and educational approaches.
“Friendships and social play are where we practice the skills we need to be successful caring adults.”
