BDU Best Buddies (Approved only) The goal of Best Buddies is to introduce students in general education and special education classes to each other through a mutually enriching club experience where a diverse group of friends can meet new people, participate in group activities, and build a more inclusive school culture at school.

In Best Buddies, we create matches between students with and without disabilities. These ‘buddy pairs’ spend time together during club meetings and communicate – over phone/text, social media, lunch, or in school – at least once a week. For those club members not in a one-to-one match, there are leadership opportunities to spearhead committees that help Best Buddies achieve its mission of inclusion.

Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok @bestbu.
