ORGANIZATION: Best Buddies International

Are you looking to give back to your community and the people in it? Join Best Buddies Citizens! We matched adults without disabilities in one to one friendships with an adult that has intellectually and/or developmental disabilities based on common interests, preferences and location. The requirements are simple: contact your Buddy once a week and hangout with them for at least four hours a month. Why not give back by being a friend?!
