5k Friendship Walk

Best Buddies International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the leading walk in the country supporting inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (also known as IDD).

Our Long Beach walk will occur on Saturday, April 26th, at Shoreline Park (200 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802). We're looking for volunteers to support the walk on the day of the event. Here is a link to the event website: https://www.bestbuddiesfriendshipwalk.org/losangeles/

We will offer multiple volunteer shifts throughout the day. Each shift is two or three hours. When you sign up for this opportunity, I will share the shift schedule and tasks with you, and you can choose what you would like to do.

We're able to sign off on service hours if you volunteer. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Melissa Peterson at melissapeterson@bestbuddies.org.
