WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE DO:

Best Buddies is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disablities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships.

Best Buddies for High School. 

Matches students with intellectual disablities with high school students from general education to create one-to-one friendships. By introducing Best Buddies to public and private high schools, we are crossing the invisible line that too often separates those with disabilities from those without.
