Descriptions, documents and videos about participating in school chapters of Best Buddies.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Best Buddies envisions each of our members to be leaders in their schools and communities. Each participant of Best Buddies is an advocate for social inclusion and a leader in the disability rights movement. Everyone can make a significant impact by fostering a more inclusive school and community, educating their peers, and raising awareness.<\/p>\n

For chapters that can create matches, chapter leaders will create one-to-one friendships between people with and without disabilities. By matching and cultivating new friendships, we advance our mission of inclusion and take one step closer to a world of acceptance.<\/p>\n

Best Buddies provides trainings, resources, and fun ideas to make sure that members and matches get to know each other in a natural way and have the space they need to create life-long friendships.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1668620179380{border-top-width: 10px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #f4faf9 !important;border-top-color: #8fd1c4 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}”]\n
