Best Buddies is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment.

In the College program, Best Buddies matches people with intellectual disabilities with college students and creates one-to-one friendships between them.  In the past, individuals with intellectual disabilities have not had the opportunity to have friends outside of their own, often isolated, environments.  By becoming a College Buddy, volunteers offer a Buddy the chance to explore life in a new way.

At Biola, we believe Best Buddies is a great way to share the love of Christ to people with intellectual disabilities.
