Community
We connect people who have developmental disabilities with community resources, events, and members to provide the support necessary for them to live full, happy, meaningful lives. You can help!
Be a Friend
1. Join Best Buddies
Pair up with someone who has a developmental disability and help them make new friends, experience new things, and become more connected in their community.
