Buddy Up Connections
Social-focused program that builds friendships, communication, and belonging through shared experiences and peer engagement.
- For participants ages 10 and up
- 60-90 minutes
- Weekly
Building Lasting Friendships
Connections groups meet weekly during a 6-8 week session. Buddies lead the activity themes each week, which vary across sports, arts, and community engagement. As relationships grow, many continue beyond the program, forming lasting connections in the community.
Flexible Meeting Options
Connections groups work together to choose meeting times and locations that best fit their schedules. Whether meeting in the community, at program spaces, or virtually, groups have the flexibility to create a routine that works for them while staying engaged and consistent throughout the session.
Buddy Up Connections is currently only offered in Columbus, OH. Check with our Columbus chapter for specific class times and session details!

Sam and I love to meet up for ice cream, playing pickleball, and going bowling! We get together for group activities, and it’s been so fun to watch him build new friendships. I can’t wait to continue hanging out with him after this summer.
