A place to connect, grow, and belong.

About Between Friends

Between Friends is a charitable organization dedicated to creating inclusive communities where people with disabilities can connect, grow, and belong. For more than 40 years, we have provided social, recreational, and developmental opportunities for children, youth, and adults with disabilities, creating spaces where individuals can build friendships, develop confidence, try new experiences, and be themselves without fear of judgement or exclusion.

Life at Between Friends

Between Friends is a people-first organization. Our work can be energetic, creative, challenging, and incredibly rewarding, and we value teamwork, flexibility, compassion, humour, and genuine connection. We want the people who work and volunteer with us to feel that they belong here too. That culture is reflected in our employee feedback, with 87% of employees reporting that Between Friends is a great place to work and 100% saying they feel they make a difference and that people care about one another.

Where You Belong

At Between Friends, belonging isn’t just something we create for our members—it’s something we want every member of our team to feel, too. We’re proud of a workplace built on connection, collaboration, inclusion, and a shared passion for making a difference. Here, you’re encouraged to bring your ideas, be yourself, grow your skills, and know that the work you do matters.

Our Culture

Our culture is rooted in the belief that inclusion should be meaningful, not simply about being invited into a space. We focus on abilities, celebrate individuality, adapt to meet people where they are, and work to remove barriers that prevent participation. Our core values are captured through FRIENDS: Fun, Respect, Inclusion, Equity, No Barriers, Diversity, and Skills. These values guide how we support our members as well as how we work with our staff, volunteers, families, donors, and community partners.

Our Environment

We offer a supportive, inclusive, and fun workplace where individuality is celebrated, new ideas are welcomed, and people genuinely care about one another. At Between Friends, you’ll have opportunities to build your skills, grow professionally, create lasting connections, and be part of a team that believes work can be both purposeful and a whole lot of fun.

Our Inclusive Workplace

Inclusion is at the heart of who we are, and that extends to our workplace. At Between Friends, we value the different experiences, perspectives, strengths, and identities each person brings to our team. We strive to create an environment where people feel respected, supported, and comfortable being themselves. We recognize that everyone works, communicates, and contributes differently, and we believe those differences make our organization stronger.
