Best Buddies
The Tufts chapter of Best Buddies pairs college students with adults who have mild to moderate intellectual disabilities to form meaningful friendships. Buddy pairs meet weekly at a local organization where the Buddies are employed (within a 5min walk from campus) and attend periodic chapter-wide events together. Becoming involved in Best Buddies is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life by forming friendships that these adults may otherwise never have the opportunity to experience.

Elderly Outreach
Help volunteer to bridge the gap between two generations. We are a new and motivated part of LCS looking for other Tufts students to help bring youthful activities and their own interests to the elderly. Come to bring Wii, dancing, movie screenings, magic shows, and music performances to local senior citizens! "We're more than just bingo."
Contact Brandon Sultan and Lauren Wielgus at elderlyoutreach.lcs@gmail.com.
Got Change?
Tired of Change? Do exactly what we did! Start donating your change to Got Change?, a program that collects spare change for donation to local charities in the Medford/Somerville area. Drop your change into our collection boxes located in many buildings around campus. Don't forget a single penny because every penny counts!

Social Justice Arts Initiative
The Social Justice Arts Initiative works to use the arts as a platform to both raise awareness about social justice issues and act to combat them. We partner with local non-profit organizations and create arts-based social justice campaigns both on the Tufts campus and in the surrounding community. All kinds of artists and art appreciators welcome!
