| Buddy Club |
| A peer mentoring and friendship club open to all |
The Buddy Club seeks to pair one teen
with a disability or special need with two
to three teens from their high school or
middle school. In addition to providing
recreational opportunities, the club’s
purpose is to bring inclusion for teens
with developmental disabilities into the
general population of their schools.
Through this inclusion, the teens with
disabilities have the prospect of gaining
additional friendships, social skill
development and increased
independence.
This is a unique club that is based on
friendship! The purpose of The Buddy
Club is to develop new friendships and
have participants commit to contacting
each other during the school year on a
regular basis. Sign up with a friend to
be a friend! Monthly activities are
planned for all participants in the Tri-
Cities. Some of the activities the
buddies enjoy are dances, sports
events, movies, and lunches. The
Buddy Club is a great opportunity to
reach out to others in your high school.
