Best Buddies
FST has been providing coordination of the BEST BUDDIES Program to clients of Options for a number of years. Best Buddies is an international program, dedicated to breaking down barriers between people and erasing misconceptions about individuals with a developmental disability. Options clients are matched with student volunteers from a local established college or university chapter to create one to one friendships with the hope that these matches will evolve into long term friendships.
For more information about the International Best Buddies program, please visit their website at: http://www.bestbuddies.ca/
To take part in the Best Buddies program at Family Service Toronto, you must first be a client of the Options program.
