Cambridge Program Friends started several years ago with a small group of devoted parents with individuals attending the program. We formalized the group two years ago getting 501C3 status and becoming a charitable non-profit. We create inclusive fundraisers with a mission to provide greater opportunities to the eighty plus active participants of the Cambridge Program. We welcome new ideas and invite volunteerism!
