Join the Befriending Network

Sometimes the most meaningful thing you can give is simply your friendship.

CDD's Befriending Network connects community members with individuals with developmental disabilities who are interested in building genuine, lasting friendships beyond their paid support network.

Befriending isn't about being a caregiver or service provider. It's about being a friend.

That might mean grabbing coffee, going to a movie, watching a game, sharing a hobby, attending a community event, celebrating birthdays, or simply spending time together. Each connection is unique and built around shared interests and what both people enjoy.

Through the Befriending Network, volunteers have an opportunity to create something that goes beyond traditional volunteering—a meaningful relationship that can enrich both lives.

There's a Place for You at CDD.

Give an afternoon. Bring your coworkers. Share a skill. Take on a project. Build a friendship.

However you choose to get involved, your time helps create stronger connections, greater inclusion, and more opportunities for the individuals CDD supports.

Ready to get involved? We'd love to connect with you and find the right volunteer opportunity.
