Brandeis Buddies partners with Opportunities for Inclusion to allow student volunteers to engage with participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a wide variety of fun activities ranging from arts and crafts to karaoke and beyond. These student volunteers also have the opportunity to participate in advocacy work that helps to educate both themselves, the Brandeis communtiy, and the greater Waltham community.
