Buddies Needed For e-Buddies® Program

"My e-Buddy and me, we are learning that we are a lot a like. He might not have known an athlete like me before, but now I think he thinks of me like any other friend. And I am."- Robert Plante, Special Olympics Athlete

Do you know someone with an intellectual disability who would like to have a Peer Buddy without even leaving his/her home?

Are you a special education teacher who would like to offer your students a Peer Buddy to collaborate with and accomplish curriculum framework standards while in the classroom?

e-Buddies® creates respective e-mail friendships between people with and without intellectual disabilities.

e-Buddies® is a fun and safe way to make a new friend. Matches are made based on similar age, gender, geography (i.e. participants will NOT be matched with someone from the same state), and shared interests.

There is no charge for people with intellectual disabilities to participate in this program, and people are ready to start chatting.
