Best Buddies International is an organization that “creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).” Collegiate chapters of Best Buddies work with a host site to make friendship pairings between college students and members of the surrounding community with IDD.
I am interested in starting a chapter of Best Buddies at OWU, and I have been working with Best Buddies International and the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities to help make this happen! If Best Buddies sounds like a club you would like to see on campus, please fill out the form included below.
