Best Buddies, UW
Last active term
Best Buddies is all about making new friends, having fun, and building an inclusive community. Since starting in the U.S. in 1993, it has grown worldwide – and now, it’s your turn to be part of something amazing right here on campus!
We pair university students (that's you!) with adults who have developmental disabilities in one-to-one friendships based on your shared interests.
There are 2 parts to being a Student buddy:
Weekly Check-ins: Fun and flexible hangouts with your Buddy! Chat, play games, explore campus, or simply send a friendly text to check in.
Monthly Events: Join us for exciting group activities, both in-person and online. Think movie nights, game nights, or themed parties!
