The mission of Best Buddies is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships and integrated employment.
Georgetown University Best Buddies is the largest college chapter in Washington, D.C. and is the birthplace of Best Buddies International. The precursor to Best Buddies was started by former Hoya Anthony Kennedy Shriver in the 1980s, who later founded Best Buddies International in 1989.
Our chapter holds group events once a month attended by both Georgetown students and members of the community with intellectual disabilities. In the past, these events have included barbecues, Halloween parties, Hawaiian luaus, and attending Hoya sporting events. Events are usually catered and include performances by student groups such as acapella and dance groups.
Best Buddies provides students with the opportunity to be full-time or associate buddies. Full-time buddies are paired up community members with intellectual disabilities. These buddy pairs meet up at least once a month for fun activities in and around D.C. such as movies, dinner, or exploring the city. Associate buddies are expected to come to meetings and group events.
