Best Buddies International is a non-profit organization whose mission is to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.


 * Service Opportunity:** We have various fundraising events that require volunteers of all ages to help. Students can become involved with Best Buddies in their school chapter. We have frienship programs in Middle Schools, High Schools and in Colleges. Volunteers commit for one year to be matched in a one-to-one friendship with a person who has a developmental or intellectual disability.

Considerations: The School based program is geared toward students that are in the MS, HS or College level. However all are welcomed to volunteer for BB events and fundraisers. All we require is a happy smile!
