What is Best Buddies? "Since 1995, Best Buddies High Schools has paired students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in one-to-one friendships with high school students. In the past, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have not had the opportunity to have friends outside of their own special education classroom. By introducing Best Buddies into public and private high schools, participants are crossing the invisible line that too often separates those with disabilities from those without. Best Buddies High Schools also offers students a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills. With the support of school faculty and Best Buddies staff, students lead and direct the chapters in their schools." Find more information on the Best Buddies Wisconsin site
What Does the Germantown Program Look Like?
Students plan and lead meetings and activities with the support of school advisers with the goal of making new friends while also developing leadership skills. Opportunities for participation are both during and after the regular school day. Some students are paired with a buddy that they will make at least weekly contact with including hanging out at least twice per month after school hours (such as eating dinner together, hanging out after school, going to an activity together, etc)
