    About Us

    Best Buddies in the Capital Region has just launched an adult friendship program called Citizens. In Citizens, adults in the community without disabilties are paired in one-to-one friendships with adults in the community that have disabilities. Individuals must be over the age of 18 to participate. The commitment includes maintaining weekly contact with a buddy and meeting with a buddy twice a month. For more information please call (518) 235-2226 or email the Citizens Program Manager, Sam Hershberger, at samuelhershberger@bestbuddies.org
