Best Buddies



Mission Statement: Enhances the lives of people with developmental disabilities through one-on-one friendships with college students. 

 Best Buddies is an international organization that pairs people from 20 to 50 years of age with and without intellectual disabilities in one-on-one friendships. The colleges program pairs college students in friendships with people in the local community who are referred by the ARC. Our campus chapter is large (50 members) and involves the most students of any campus in the Lehigh Valley. The chapter hosts around 4 events per semester for the buddy pairs, and the pairs are expected to call one another every week and see each other 2 times a month. If you do not have the time to meet once a week, there is the opportunity to be an associate buddy. This position only attends the few chapter events per year. Contact Hannah Cohan, hc247762@muhlenberg.edu, or Stephanie Solomon, ss245698@muhlenberg.edu, for more information.
