buddies
The Buddies Friendship Program focuses on improving the social position of young people (16-35 years old) with a mild intellectual disability. For this we use a tangible and powerful instrument: friendship. This friendship boosts their happiness, prevents them from becoming isolated and strengthens their self-esteem.
Buddies has a broad network and a lot of contact with care institutions and schools in the region. At Buddies you are part of an enthusiastic team and you gain social work experience, which is always of added value for your future career. As a buddy you will be involved in the activities of our foundation and you can participate in training courses that we organize. You will be guided by the regional manager and the Buddies club manager in your region.
