We are seeking a volunteer to help us explore potential corporate partnerships with local brands and businesses that would allow us to raise the profile of some of our conservation campaigns. We are not necessarily looking at this as a fundraiser, even though a partnership could lead to financial support, but rather as an opportunity to profile our work in new ways and by making use of established networks and client bases that are outside of our current reach. Some ideas include partnering with a local brewery to name a new product after one of our conservation project areas with the assumption that consumers would be intrigued and would want to learn more. We have no experience with these types of partnerships and would like the volunteer to research them further to ensure there are no ethical or other issues and to help identify potential corporate partners in the region and potentially make contact with them to request a meeting to discuss the idea.

What is Leisure Buddies? Leisure Buddies is about creating friendships between people who may not otherwise have had the chance to meet. Contact between individuals in the community and persons with developmental disabilities seldom occurs spontaneously. The Leisure Buddy program facilitates friendships by pairing individuals in one-to-one relationships. A Leisure Buddy friendship helps to break down barriers to inclusion and provides opportunities for shared experience, laughter and support. What is an intellectual disability? A developmental disability, also referred to as an intellectual disability, is a term used to describe any condition that includes a lifelong impairment to a person's ability to learn or to adapt to their environment. People with a developmental disability do not necessarily have a recognizable condition. Some examples of diagnosed conditions are autism, Down Syndrome and Williams Syndrome. The degree of disability varies greatly from person to person. Developmental disabilities may or may not be accompanied by physical disabilities. Most individuals live in a group home or on their own with support and may have limited contact with the larger community. The Leisure Buddy program provides a safe and caring way for our individuals to become more independent, and to enjoy the benefits of a special friendship which extends beyond their family members and paid care providers. What type of commitment do I need to make to be a Leisure Buddy Companion? The most important part of the Leisure Buddy program is friendship. Buddies make contact with each other once a week by telephone. It is expected that one-to-one outings will happen twice per month.
