Best Buddies International Best Buddies is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment. By joining Best Buddies International, you become part of a growing movement of people with and without intellectual disabilities dedicated to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to have a friend. Socialization is one of the simplest, but most often underestimated, solutions to the pattern of exclusion that people with developmental disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, have faced for decades. You will be joining an organization that has over 60,000 volunteers this year and has positively affected more than 350,000 people this year. Best Buddies accomplishes its mission through six unique programs: Best Buddies Middle Schools, Best Buddies High Schools, Best Buddies Colleges, Best Buddies Citizens, Best Buddies Jobs, and e-Buddies®. Best Buddies High Schools, Colleges, and Middle Schools are the foundation of the organization with chapters at more than 1,400 chapters in each of the 50 United States, and operates accredited international programs in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Egypt, England, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Honduras, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Panama, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates; with additional country programs in various phases of development. Best Buddies Citizens matches adults with and without intellectual disabilities in California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Best Buddies Jobs, our supported employment program, helps people with intellectual disabilities find and keep well paying jobs in Miami, Florida; Los Angeles, California; and Boston, Massachusetts. e-Buddies seeks to match individuals with and without intellectual disabilities in online friendships.
