5 Steps to being a Gig Buddy

If you are signed up as a participant or volunteer you can come to our group events

(even if you don’t have a gig buddy)

*Matching you with a buddy can take some time. The Gig Buddies project cannot guarantee participants will be matched with a volunteer

** A signed Service Agreement must be returned to ACL Disability Services before a pairing can be made.
