Best Buddies pairs UNC students with members of the Chapel Hill community who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. The mission of Best Buddies is to facilitate and create lasting friendships between college and community buddies through regular group events (talent shows, UNC sporting events, movie screenings, etc.) and one-to-one meetings outside of large group events. Best Buddies recruits throughout the year and is always looking for new college and associate buddies!

College Buddies are actively matched with one of the community buddies who take part in the program; each pairing is based on similar hobbies and activities. The goal is to build a one-to-one friendship and meet with one another at least three times per month (one large group event and two individual/small group meet-ups outside of the group event). The individual meet-ups are largely left up to the College Buddies, but some popular activities include going to a UNC sporting event, visiting a restaurant, or going to a park or movie – r
