Buddy Sessions

Buddy Sessions are designed to foster friendship. Sessions pair two individuals with similar ages, interests, and support needs for a fun, community-based outing. Each session is planned and facilitated by Josh, providing opportunities to build friendships, practice social skills, improve communication, learn teamwork, and increase confidence in real-world settings.

Activities are geared towards the participants’ combined interests and may include:

–Going to a coffee shop
-Playing sports
-Parks and walking trails
-Ice cream outings
-Museums
-Libraries
-Local events
-Board games at a café
-Simple volunteer opportunities
-Seasonal activities

During each Buddy Session, I provide support by helping participants start and maintain conversations, take turns and share, problem-solve together, practice flexibility, build confidence in social situations, and strengthen genuine friendships.

The goal is to create meaningful connections while making community outings enjoyable and successful.
