The Best Buddies program at Luther Burbank was one of the first officially
chartered middle school chapters, dedicated to establishing mutually enriching
one-to-one friendships to enhance the lives of people with intellectual
disabilities. Best Buddies was founded as an organization in 1989, and now
includes more than 1400 chapters across the world. We are proud to be part of
the Best Buddies International organization.
Our Best Buddies chapter assists in facilitating mutually rewarding friendships between students with special needs and their middle school peers, by holding monthly activities after school. Best Buddies will meet on the virtually on the first Wednesday of each month. The activities are held from 2:45-3:30.
Sign-ups have started on-line at www.bestbuddiesonline.org. Students may begin participating in Best Buddies when a signed application has been submitted.
