History

The SoCal Friendship Circle, formerly the San Gabriel Valley Circle, was formed by several high school classmates. While the founding members of the group are women from Mountain View High School class of 1981 in El Monte, CA, we welcome men and women from throughout the southern California.

Why We Support Friendship Bridge

We are advocates for women, especially those with limited opportunities. Most of us grew up in working families with limited resources and influence. We understand how important it was to receive support to pursue our college educations and professions.
