Emory Best Buddies is a chapter of an international organization that promotes authentic, meaningful friendships between students and community members with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We provide a space at least once a month for large group gatherings and community building. We also have the infrastructure to check in and support these friendships outside of our organization, too! We are a comfort space for Emory students and community members with IDD alike. We are an organization of love, inclusion, and happiness!
More funds can help bolster stronger, more exciting monthly meetings (ex: going bowling or to a Hawks game instead of hanging out in White Hall). Additionally, we can provide more opportunities for international involvement via sponsorship of students to conferences. The more money we have, the more opportunity we have to build our beautiful community!
