Best Buddies is an international organization that promotes inclusion among people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. Best Buddies pairs students in one-to-one friendships and creates opportunities for students to interact and include one another in a variety of activities throughout the year. The Best Buddies organization creates multiple learning opportunities and provides job placement programs for our students.
