The Unique Friends Foundation (TUFF)

Our vision is to start a movement to conquer the prejudices that plague the special needs community, as well as, to start conversations that encourage acceptance and empowerment of these individuals on a global level.

Our mission is to ENCOURAGE and EMPOWER individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities to compete for their place in society through employment or volunteering. It is also to EXPOSE the local communities to the challenges of our Unique Friends & EDUCATE employers to their untapped potential. Our needs: - Volunteers with a heart for sharing, the desire to help train our unique friends for different positions and shadow them during an event. - Ambassadors to participate in workshops for the community and training businesses in best hiring practices. - Donors and Sponsors to contribute to our mission. ​
