Happy Spread the Word Day everyone! Today is a day to promote inclusion within our own communities and to celebrate kindness. Be like Big Jay and consider taking your own pledge to end the use of the R-word at the link in our description!

Here’s a buddy spotlight for our Buddy Director Austin! For those that don’t know, Austin and many other chapter members have participated in our annual Ambassador Training Program, where Buddies are able to reflect on their experiences in the group though speech writing and public speaking. Here’s what Austin had to say about his time as Buddy Director:

“I love what I do because I am good at it and I like helping our Buddies find their own voices. I believe that the mission of Best Buddies is to bring more people together and I really like that.”

Thank you for your work in supporting our community!

We want to thank you all for being a part of our chapter and supporting us throughout the year! We couldn’t have done it without you all, and we are all so excited to get back to it in August (with a few additions to our team!). Congrats to our seniors graduating, and have a great summer! ☀️🎓😊
