Best Buddies in South Carolina is dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement to create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We’re growing and looking for volunteers who can help us spread our programs across the state. We currently have 12 schools of Friendship chapters and 1 adult Friendship chapter – let’s open more!

The first virtual volunteer interest meeting was held in February where students, teachers, and members of the community joined to learn more about how they could support the organization in expanding our programs to individuals throughout South Carolina.
