New Albany Peer Buddy Program Update… The Peer Buddy Program is Starting its Fourth Year as a Thriving NASC Endeavor!

Last year under the supervision of New Albany Special Connections board member, Daphne Hess, the Peer Buddy Program had over 110 participants of both buddies (high school volunteers) and partners (middle and high school students with special needs). Students enjoyed high school tailgate parties, basketball/football games, crafts, games, bowling, putt-putt golf, bingo, and many more social activities.

New Albany Special Connections was delighted to receive a generous donation from  the proceeds of the sale of the New Albany Cooking With Friends cookbook. The funds will go towards implementation of future NASC programs.
