You also share questions and challenges. And we
want you to share ideas and experiences. Below
are some ways you can connect and feel
empowered to build your own success as a leader.
F i n d Y o u r P e o p l eCreate a Best Buddies network. If you are
a new advisor, officer, or ambassador,
connect with established leaders in your
area to ask questions, learn from their
experience, and brainstorm with other
volunteers in your role. Best Buddies can
make these connections for you!
Make it Work For You Find a leader who can mentor you in your role.
Hold calls, host meet-ups to share ideas, and
invite other leaders to join you in your
brainstorming and strategy sessions.
Visit established chapters' events to view
success.
Use your peers as a sounding board as you
develop plans and goals.
Join monthly calls with Best Buddies staff and
peer leaders.

K n o w Y o u r C o m m u n i t yWhen do friends in your school hang out? Your
chapter activities should model this culture. Don't
expect buddy pairs to spend time together after
school if no one else does! When is it best for
your school? Attend already-planned school
events together, like football
games and assemblies
Talk to your principal about
using times like study halls or
homeroom to have meetings
Join other buddy pairs on
their outings
Join a civic group together
