CADSA IS NOW A BEST BUDDIES HOST SITE
What is Best Buddies? Best Buddies International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The programs empower the special abilities of people with IDD by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, and feel valued by society. - MSU is the CADSA chapter. The location of monthly gathering will be on MSU campus.
- The one-to -one friendships will have several components.
- The expectation is that at least once a week the buddy CADSA member, and the MSU student peer buddy, will have communication on the phone, computer or email.
- In addition they have the opportunity to hang out at an all chapter monthly event. They will have one other opportunity to go out with their buddies in the community. They may choose to go hang out at the movies, dinner, bowling, or some other activity. The expectation is to have two monthly activities, one can be the all chapter monthly event.
- These activity costs will be the responsibility of the individual, and the arrangements are made with the parents input.
- MSU peer buddies pay their own activity costs.
- There is no cost to join the Best Buddies Program.
- How do I get involved? There is an application and matching process.
Start the process? Fill out the application. Click Here
We belong to the MSU chapter of Best Buddies. MSU Chapter President Sarah Woodstein, Best Buddies CADSA Host Site Coordinator- Jennifer Botruff.
