Founded in 1989 by Anthony Kennedy Shriver, Best Buddies is a vibrant,
international organization that has grown from one original chapter to
more than 1,400 middle school, high school, and college campuses across
the country and internationally. Best Buddies programs engage
participants in each of the 50 United States. We have accredited
international programs on six continents with additional country
programs under active development. Our six formal programs - Best
Buddies Middle Schools, High Schools, Colleges, Citizens, e -Buddies(r)
and Jobs - will positively impact more than 350,000 individuals this
year. Best Buddies also is systematically implementing our 2010
initiative that will witness the organization's continued significant
growth, both domestically and overseas. Best Buddies volunteers annually
contribute services to the community that equate to more than $70
million USD.
Even though Best Buddies has advanced tremendously in our short
existence, many areas of the country and many regions of the world still
lack programs to help people with intellectual disabilities become part
of mainstream society. Our goal is to continue expanding nationwide and
at the local community level, while more broadly engaging the global
community through our programs.
