You can sign up to be a PEER BUDDY which is someone who is paired in a 1:1 friendship with a BUDDY. A BUDDY is someone with an intellectual or developmental disability. You can also register to be an ASSOCIATE MEMBER, which means you join in all of the activities but do not have the same requirements as a PEER BUDDY. PEER BUDDIES are required to speak to their buddies a minimum of 1x per week (phone, in person, facetime, text etc.) and see their buddy at least 2x per month (this can be done through facetime, zoom, google meets etc.).
