VolunPeers is an initiative led by students dedicated to creating inclusive volunteer opportunities where students with disabilities and trained Peer Buddies serve their communities together.
We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to participate in meaningful community service. By partnering with local organizations and schools, VolunPeers helps make volunteer experiences more welcoming, accessible, and engaging for students of all abilities.
Peer Buddies complete specialized training that prepares them to encourage participation, support communication, and promote independence throughout each volunteer experience. Rather than completing tasks for another student, Peer Buddies work alongside their partners as teammates, building confidence, friendships, and a shared sense of purpose.
Through inclusion, collaboration, and service, VolunPeers aims to strengthen communities while empowering every student to make a meaningful impact.
