Friendship Place

Friendship Place Friendship Place is a community center that is located in the Meadow Park neighborhood of Rochester, MN. "Where everyone can find a friend."

We offer an after-school program for Kindergarten through 5th Grade, Tuesdays through Thursdays, following the public school schedule, from 4:15-5:45 pm, where we offer homework help, arts, crafts, supervised play, and share a snack or meal. We also offer homework help for grades 6-12 Tuesday through Thursday evening from 7:00-8:30. Apart from these two main programs, we also have a summer program

that runs through June and July, as well as other events and field tre tips throughout the school year. We also reach out to our neighbors with events like National Day Out and just having people live at Friendship Place. Friendship Place is supported by local churches and operates mainly through the work of volunteers. If interested in how you can work with Friendship Place, contact the director at [email protected]

So thankful for random acts of kindness! Last week the young lady from HyVee that brought the kids at Friendship Place two dozen donuts and the guy at the gas station tonight that bought all the evening students donuts. Kindness is SO important these days.
