Best Buddies International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for inclusion, friendship and leadership to individuals with Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Best Buddies Ambassador Program is a leadership initiative designed to encourage people with IDD to advocate for themselves and their peers through a variety of platforms. Ambassadors work one-on-one with a
community volunteer to craft speeches, improve public speaking skills, and understand the basics of advocacy.
Best Buddies welcomes any adult with IDD to participate in this Ambassador Training. Participants do not have to be a member of the Best Buddies program to attend and no experience is necessary. There is no cost to attend and lunch will be provided.
