About Best Buddies - Long Beach
Best Buddies is a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide people with developmental disabilities with opportunities for one-on-one friendships. Volunteers from the community are matched into such a friendship with adults with disabilities who share similar interests. All of our volunteers go through an extensive application process and background check, and are required to maintain weekly contact with their Buddy, in addition to one-on-one outings twice a month, such as dinner or bowling. A Best Buddies friendship provides vital socialization skills, a heightened sense of independence, and increased self-confidence to the people who are often neglected by mainstream society.
