We have launched our new program registration software, Sawyer. We have switched from Dash to Sawyer to provide a simpler, quicker, and more user-friendly experience when registering for Friendship Foundation programs.

Starting April 20th, 2026, all families- new and returning- will need to create a profile on Sawyer in order to sign up for summer programs. 

Participants can get started by creating a Sawyer account in the “Program Schedule" tab.

If you are registering for yourself, enter your own contact information.

If you are a parent setting up an account to sign up participant(s), input your information first as the “Client”.

• Sawyer's platform has slightly different language than our prior platform, Dash, to describe activities. Use this glossary as a guide for navigating the platform!
•  
• Client– The primary account that can have multiple Adult and/or Child profiles attached to it.
• Child– An account profile for Children (under the age of 18) created under the primary Client account profile.
• Participant– Anyone (Client, Adult, or Child) that is being registered for an activity.
• Sessions– This tab will include all our monthly programs and activities.
• Camps– Our Summer Programs are listed in this tab (Friendship Camp, Beach Camp, and Ocean & Surf Therapy). These are only visible between May-August.
• Memberships– Volunteers will need start here and get a free “Adult” or “Youth” Membership in order to register for volunteer programs.
•  

• I already have a DASH account. Do I also need to create a Sawyer account? Yes- your DASH account does not transfer over to Sawyer. Please create a new account, as we will no longer be using the DASH platform for registration starting with May 2026 programs.
•  
• What name do I put for “Client,” me or my child? Any parent/guardian creating the account is the client. You will be prompted to add a child/adult to your account when you go to add an item to your cart.
•  
• Will I still get email reminders about programs? Yes, we will continue to send out emails with all of the important program information. Emails will be sent out 24 hours prior to the program.
•  
• Where can I see what programs I registered for? Sawyer sends out email confirmations for every order placed. You can also view your calendar by visiting www.hisawyer.com/account/calendar and logging in to your Sawyer account.
•  
• I keep seeing other camps and programs that are not from the Friendship Foundation. Where do I find Friendship Foundation programs? Please use the Sawyer widget on our website at friendshipfoundation.com. This will be the one and only place you can find our programs.
•  
• Can I store my credit card on file for a quicker checkout? Yes, you can save and/or update your payment information once you create a Sawyer account. Please visit your profile settings or update them when checking out for a program.
•  
• My child is a volunteer. How do I get them registered for programs? After creating your account, please sign your volunteer up for a free Volunteer Membership. Please choose either “Adult” or “Youth” Volunteer Membership based on the volunteer’s age. Volunteers will need a Membership in order to register for programs. Volunteer programs are marked as “Members-Only” on Sawyer to distinguish them from our fee-based participant programs.
•  
• I am an adult volunteer. Can I volunteer immediately? We require all new adult volunteers (ages 18+) to complete a background check via Livescan fingerprinting before attending our programs. Friendship Foundation will reimburse up to $25 in fees with proof of receipt. Please contact us if you have any questions.
