Vounteering

Recently I was asked to be a volunteer for Best Buddies. Best Buddies is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

I've been asked to be speech coach for a special young man who wants to be a motivational speaker. We are definitely learning from each other and have quickly become friends.

There are amazing people participating in various Best Buddies programs. One of the amazing people I've met would have to be Greg. He has a voice I would love to have and a memory I am jealous of. Take some time to watch this video of him speaking to a high school in Arizona. Amazing stuff.
