Looking for a flexible, fun volunteer opportunity? Do you have 4-6 hours each month to spare? Do you want to spend that time making a difference in the life of a local adult? Please consider becoming a part of Best Buddies Wisconsin's Adult Friendship program.
You can help meet someone's fundamental need for acceptance, connection, and validation by simply doing the things you normally do - watching a Brewers game, going out to eat, seeing a movie, or just taking a summer walk - with a new friend. Through our Adult Friendship Program, called Citizens, we pair up local adults with and without disabilities to be friends.
You can be a part of the solution as we work to create a more inclusive community!
