Citizens
Best Buddies Citizens pairs people with intellectual disabilities in one-to-one friendships with other individuals in the corporate and civic communities. Friends and family are the foundation that help each of us become successful. Without love, support, and friends, our lives would be empty - a life people with intellectual disabilities have been forced to live throughout history. Volunteers are changing this by sharing their time with a new friend.

Best Buddies Citizen, High School, and College programs are evaluated each spring by the Hardman Survey.  Dr. Michael Hardman, Dean of Special Education from the University of Utah, surveys Best Buddies participants throughout the country every year.
