Narrative

The mission of Best Buddies is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) through opportunities for one-to-one friendship and integrated employment.

The Best Buddies Jobs program represents one of our organization’s five key mission pillars, Integrated Employment. This program secures jobs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It allows them to earn an income, pay taxes, and continuously and independently support themselves.

The Jobs program places focus beyond the typical jobs in which a person with IDD might be placed. Best Buddies focuses on finding work that matches the job seeker’s interests and talents.
