Be a buddy to a friend with special needs!

About this opportunity

Volunteer Buddies play a key role in creating a safe, welcoming, and joyful experience for our All‑Stars. As a Buddy, you’ll work one‑on‑one with an All‑Star, encouraging them, helping them participate in activities, and making sure they feel supported throughout the event. You’re never alone in this role—our Care, medical, and safety teams are always on site to assist with any needs that arise. The Care team knows our All‑Stars well and works thoughtfully to match you with an All‑Star who fits your comfort level, experience, and personality, helping you feel confident from the start. To volunteer, registration is required, including creating a volunteer profile. This helps us understand your background, experience, and comfort level so we can make the best possible match. We ask that volunteer buddies be at least 16 years old. We love having younger teens volunteer, if they are accompanied by a parent, who is also volunteering. All volunteers are asked to wear an All‑Stars Club t‑shirt during events; shirts are available for purchase on site, and if the cost is a burden, please reach out to your site leaders for support. Our program includes monthly Club events filled with music, games, sports, crafts, and connection, along with special annual events. As a Buddy, you help make these moments possible, offering encouragement, companionship, and fun to every All‑Star you meet. We have multiple locations in 6 states. Please look carefully at the club page to find the location and carefully read the registration info for date and time.
