WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Although Best Buddies-UMass Medical School would like to pair every interested individual with a UMMS student to form a one-to-one friendship, eligible Buddies must meet important criteria, and we ask that all referrals are made keeping the following in-mind:
Potential Buddies MUST:
· Have permission for unstaffed community time
· No dangerous/challenging behavior patterns
· No prior convictions of physical or sexual crime
· Be able to transfer into a vehicle if they use a wheelchair
Please keep in-mind that UMMS students will NOT be able to:
· Provide direct personal care
· Administer medication (although they may provide reminders for their Buddies to take them)
