With the New Year, several residents from Independence Community near Millsboro, Delaware came out with a resolve to make the world a nicer place. Program Manager Anne Karwath and her husband, Kevin (also a Best Buddies volunteer) shared the volunteer opportunity and three signed up on the spot in hopes of becoming matched with a Buddy.
“These new volunteers were drawn to the Best Buddies one-to-one friendship model as a volunteer activity that is meaningful and fun at the same time. The magic and fun begin when I introduce the Buddy and Peer Buddy to each other. It’s been rewarding as a PM to see the impact the new Buddies have on each other’s lives.” – Anne Karwath
