On July 18th, 2022, Best Buddies student leaders from throughout the Capital Region came together at the Armory at Sage for a day of learning. 28 students from 11 different high schools and colleges attended and learned about everything Best Buddies. Program manager Shannon Boreali and development coordinator Kate Nitti hosted trainings about leadership, inclusion, friendship, and more to prepare the student leaders for the 2022\/2023 school year. In addition to student leaders, Best Buddies school advisors attended as well. The students got the opportunity to meet other student leaders from different schools, share ideas, and connect in their passion for Best Buddies. Volunteers helped to make the day a success, along with a water donation from DeCresente Distributing Company. The day ended with a food truck feast, complete with tacos from Buena Comida, and a visit from Mr. Ding-A-Ling Ice Cream.<\/p>\n
