The Best Buddies Friendship Walk in Rhode Island is an unforgettable event held at Providence College to celebrate joy, inclusion, and the spirit of friendship as we walk together to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our annual walk brings together walkers from across the state to raise awareness and funds for Best Buddies in Rhode Island.

We are looking for volunteers to help make this day the best walk yet! We have a variety of different volunteer opportunities, such as, running crafts or inflatable games, helping with registration, cheering, welcoming people, and more. We really appreciate the support and can't wait to have you all there!
