PAIRING PROGRAM

The friendship between a volunteer (buddy) and an individual with ID/ASD (best buddy) is called a pairing. By being supported by a buddy, the best buddy learns to find their place in the community, which helps them build self-confidence, trust in others, and greater autonomy.

WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES

Parrainage Civique Montréal offers a variety of workshops and activities to its members. Development and artistic workshops aim to promote the integration and social participation of individuals with ID/ASD.
