[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”178835″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Miami, FL, March 8, 2024<\/strong> \u2014 Nathan Moldavsky<\/strong> never expected to be here.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old college freshman never thought that his participation in his high school\u2019s Best Buddies Friendship chapter, a program of Best Buddies International<\/strong>, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), would result in him becoming one of the most recognized leaders in the organization and an incoming co-chair of the Best Buddies Young Leaders Council (YLC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been drawn to the Best Buddies\u2019 mission,\u201d Moldavsky, who has two family members with IDD, said. \u201cI never really expected that my involvement would lead me here, but I was so glad that this is where I ended up.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”178834″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][vc_column_text]This opportunity was made possible for Moldavsky and 37 other esteemed leaders through their participation in the YLC, which is a \u201cdiverse group of leaders of all abilities who bridge the gap between the participant perspective and staff experience…[through] conceptualizing, designing and executing initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The YLC was founded in 2012. Members with and without IDD are recruited from Best Buddies programs worldwide to participate in the selective group. Membership in the YLC lasts two years, while members elected to a leadership position serve five years.<\/p>\n

The YLC boasts a diverse and impressive cohort. Members from the council reside in 14 states in the U.S., and two members come from abroad — one from Canada and one from France. During the 2022-23 term, out of the 24 members on the council, four of them led Friendship chapters that were within the top five of Best Buddies Friendship Walk<\/em> fundraising, three were previously recognized as Chapter President of the Year<\/em>, three led chapters that were once awarded Most Outstanding Chapter<\/em>, two were recognized as Champions of Inclusion<\/em>, one was recognized as the Best Buddies Employee of the Year<\/em> and one earned the highest award a participant can receive from Best Buddies — the Spirit of Courage<\/em> Award<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, 11 of the members were or are chapter presidents, six were or are State Ambassadors and two were or are Global Ambassadors. The alumni network is also strong, with former YLC members going on to become Ambassadors or join Best Buddies as full-time staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe YLC is a great mix of leaders, but I think what is even more impressive is how the members of the council all bring in years and years of experience volunteering and working with Best Buddies,\u201d William McClennan<\/strong>, a former member of the YLC, said. \u201cI was blown away by my peers and tried my best to keep up with all the amazing stuff my fellow YLC members were accomplishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the YLC has grown rapidly in size and scope, with its members gaining more autonomy and taking on larger \u201cinitiatives\u201d to forward the organization. These initiatives are projects that seek to tangibly improve Best Buddies and range anywhere from fundraising programs to employer outreach. Currently, the YLC has seven initiatives in progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a person whose disability includes a mobility device, I am thankful that the YLC has chosen me to be a leader,\u201d Vanessa Ocana<\/strong>, the upcoming YLC chair,\u00a0said.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”178833″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][vc_column_text]One of the most successful initiatives, the Student Advisory Board (SAB), is led by Avelyn Garlish<\/strong>, a former member of the North Texas SAB and a first-year YLC member. SABs are essentially mini-YLCs \u2013 groups of student leaders who bridge the gap between local student volunteers and statewide staff. Currently, the YLC supports 14 SABs across nine states.<\/p>\n

\u201cSABs are tailored to the region where they are located and fill the gaps in Best Buddies student programming, whether it’s helping with local networking, providing leadership training or giving a glimpse into what higher-level leadership looks like at Best Buddies,\u201d Garlish said. \u201cI love seeing the leaders we impact, and I love seeing them shine in ways that make them feel confident.”<\/p>\n

The YLC also provides its members \u2013 and chapter leaders — with opportunities for leadership development and networking to set them up for future success. One such example is the Specialist Night, where student leaders from around the world meet with YLC members to learn how to run a successful chapter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned how to reach out to people, present myself in a professional manner and make a lot of connections,\u201d Garlish said. \u201cI have grown so much in my leadership, and the YLC has given me the strength and the tools to go out and fight for inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moldavsky, whose term as the YLC co-chair begins next year, has high hopes for the future of the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an incredible journey to get up to this point,\u201d Moldavsky said. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what is next.\u201d<\/p>\n

YLC applications open in July to Best Buddies members worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your heart is on fire for inclusion, this is the right place for you,\u201d Garlish said. \u201cWe can never have too many leaders that fight for inclusion in Best Buddies, and I really feel like the YLC is a place for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
