Best Buddies in Wisconsin’s Student Advisory Board
Best Buddies WI Student Advisory Board (SAB)
Our Mission Statement: The Best Buddies Student Advisory Board of Wisconsin is a group of student leaders committed to promoting kindness, awareness, and inclusion. The Student Advisory Board was formed to connect chapter leaders throughout the state to foster collaboration and unity between chapters by learning from one another. We work to bring members of the Best Buddies community together, emphasize valuing our differences in humanity, and seek to apply skills learned through Best Buddies to life.
