Friends give each other joy and confidence as well as hope and encouragement throughout life. The Partnerships for Success Club is an inclusive student-run club designed to provide opportunities for students with and without disabilities to form natural friendships and develop leadership skills through a variety of activities. Club members participate in social events, community service projects and Unified Special Olympic teams. As students participate in a relationship where each member has equal status, everyone involved develops confidence and self-determination as they actively participate together as friends. As many famous proverbs advise, “The only way to have a friend is to be a friend.”
