Best Buddies Illinois

Best Buddies Citizens pairs adults with intellectual disabilities in one-to-one friendships with adult volunteers in the community. We have buddies in Evanston and the surrounding areas who are looking for a peer buddy.   

Citizens Buddy Pairs are asked to commit to a one-year relationship (that often continues longer). During that time, the Buddy and Citizen Buddy agree to talk once a week and see each other twice a month. What they do when they go out is up to them.

Contact Best Buddies office and ask for the Citizens Program at 312.828.9313 or email Emma at emmareutter@bestbuddies.org
