Purpose of Program:
​
The Scituate High School chapter of Best Buddies International enhances a caring and compassionate school community that practices inclusion, involvement, peer assistance and acceptance of differences. Interested students will apply for the program below through an online parent registration. Members will attend training programs and in-school activities throughout the year plus additional field trips and activities after school. Instruction emphasizes the following areas: inclusion, disability training and social thinking development skills. Officially, there is no label of who are the “mentors” and who are the “mentees”; all students participate alongside each other. CORSE has taken the traditional Best Buddies model and expanded into a more comprehensive training program for teens along with generalization activities in the community for socialization. Rather than only have one buddy, students have the ability to form multiple relationships within groups in various settings.
​
Attendance is expected and evaluated each term for continued participation starting second semester. All Best Buddies Registrants will be required to attend AT LEAST 2 activity a quarter be it 2 in school or 2 field trips or combination . Attendance will be taken; it is the student's responsibility to sign in. Attendance sheets will be sent to the Guidance Office to confirm active participation in this program.
