The Problem

People with intellectual disabilities are often excluded from society because of their disability. Best Buddies seeks to change society's perception of people with intellectual disabilities by establishing meaningful friendships which, in turn, help people with intellectual disabilities navigate through life with more confidence and ease.

Plan of Action

My plan of action is to fulfill the Best Buddies mission. The mission of Best Buddies is 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.
