Best Buddies Rhode Island

Best Buddies RI has school friendship programs in 22 schools across the state! In these programs students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are matched in one-to-one friendships with students without disabilities. In RI we also have the buddy ambassador program, where we provide public speaking training to people with IDD. This program helps people with IDD make their voice heard! BBRI's goal is to raise enough awareness & funds to start up the citizens and jobs programs.
