Best Buddies has come to Maine! We are thrilled to announce that we have active middle school, high school and college programs, and new chapters continue to open. We hope to put Best Buddies out of business, by creating a community where people with IDD are so successfully integrated into schools, workplaces and communities that its current efforts and services will be unnecessary. Until that vision becomes a reality, the organization will continue to educate middle school, high school and college students, community members, corporations and employers about the emotional, functional, and natural needs and abilities of people with IDD.
