Kicking Off a Year of Friendship with Best Buddies

Earlier this month, the Best Buddies Club had its kick-off event at the Marlene Meyerson Jewish Community Center, led by club heads Brooke Ecker ‘27 and Ellery Golden ‘27.
Students from the club met the new teens from Best Buddies and got to know one another by playing BINGO, answering icebreaker questions through taste-testing M&Ms, and finishing the event with a dance party. 

Best Buddies is a High School service club that is a chapter of the national Best Buddies organization. This organization empowers students to foster friendships with young people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. We look forward to making more friendships at the JCC!
