Colleges - Best Buddies Iowa

Best Buddies Iowa & Midwest Colleges

Best Buddies Colleges pairs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in one-to-one friendships with college students. In the past, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have not had the opportunity to have friends outside of their own environment. Best Buddies Colleges provides an opportunity for participants to change the world simply by making a new friend.

Best Buddies Colleges also offers volunteers a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills. With the support of school faculty and Best Buddies staff, students and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities lead and direct the chapters in their schools.

Best Buddies Iowa also manages college chapters in the Midwest Region (Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Ohio).
