Brandeis Buddies seeks to build friendships between Brandeis student volunteers and adults with developmental disabilities who work on campus. Through recreational and social activities such as crafts, games and open dialogue, Brandeis Buddies work together to increase awareness of disabilities and to bridge the gap between different groups at Brandeis. The program occurs twice per week, one time on the Brandeis campus and one time at Opportunities for Inclusion.
