Peer Buddies are a large part of Parents of Special People's success. 

​

Becoming a peer buddy allows typical children to become friends with and engage with the disabled children in their classes and their schools, which fosters empathy and inclusive practices. It allows children who might otherwise struggle with making friends to be included with their same-age peers. Volunteering as a peer buddy also fosters a sense of civic duty. Matawan - Aberdeen students who volunteer as a peer buddy can get community service credits as well. 

​

Middle School and High School students who are interested in being peer buddies can reach out to the peer buddy clubs at their schools, or reach out to PoSP directly at the link below.

​
