There are no wrong answers, just be creative and have fun!! These photos let us have fun together even when we are apart.
1. The CPI Friendship Challenge:
a. Friendship takes on many forms in this virtual world! Find a way to show a friend that you care. Then share your picture to remind the world, that little gestures can go a long way towards inclusion.
i. How can you make someone feel included? A card, text or maybe even just a hug for mom!
2. The Ability Experience Leadership Challenge:
a. In Best Buddies, we see many people leading by example. Take a photo of how you can lead or a leader in your community (or house!)
i. Just think! Who inspires you? A parent, sibling, frontline worker etc.
3. The Forest Hill Jobs Challenge:
a. Inclusive employment shows us that we are better together! What is something (or someone) in your life that is better together?
i. Examples: Working together to accomplish a task or project, PBJ etc.
4. The Barringer Construction Living Challenge:
a. Create something in the area that you live that shows your commitment to friendship & inclusion to your community!
i. There are many ways to say “I support Best Buddies:” Decorate a yard sign, chalk your sidewalk, or a picture with your reason for walking.
Share your participation!!
