Best Buddies

Best Buddies is an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for mutually enriching friendships and integrated employment. This organization works to match students with disabilities with high school students from general education to create one-to-one friendships. In today’s high schools, students with disabilities often enter the same building and walk the same hallways as their peers but they are left out of social activities. By introducing Best Buddies into our high schools, we are crossing the invisible line that too often separates those with disabilities from those without. https://www.bestbuddies.org/illinois/
