“I joined Best Buddies Citizens in 2025, and it has brought me so much joy. Not only have I made a new friend, but I’ve also been able to model kindness and inclusion for my toddler. She gets to see and interact with people who look and think differently than her, helping her learn empathy, friendship, and acceptance of individuals with disabilities.

Through my buddy, I’ve rediscovered fun activities I forgot about as an adult — crafting, bowling, going to baseball games, the movies, and so many simple joys I hadn’t experienced in years. Best Buddies Citizens also offers monthly events where members can connect, build friendships, and meet others in the program, which makes it both fun and an exciting way to build community. I’m so grateful to be part of this program.”

– Tatiana, Founder of NWR and Best Buddies Citizens Board Advisor

Girls and women with ADHD are too often overlooked, misunderstood, and left to navigate life without the resources, support, or diagnosis they need. This workshop advocates for those whose ADHD has gone undetected due to gender bias, masking behaviors, and a lack of awareness in educational and clinical settings. This workshop provides educators and school professionals with tools to:

• Understand how ADHD presents differently in girls and women

• Dispel harmful myths and stigma around ADHD

• Take actionable steps to support, empower, and advocate for students living with ADHD

  Together, we can create more inclusive, informed, and compassionate environments where every student—especially those who have been historically under-diagnosed—can thrive.

This adults-only support group is intended to connect caregivers in our local area who are caring for neurodivergent children (ADHD, ASD, etc.). The group is designed to connect local Duanesburg families with others in similar situations, allowing them to share stories, access resources, and build a supportive community centered on understanding, growth, and empowerment.

The Duanesburg Community PTA is partnering with Noteworthy Resources to bring much-needed support to our local community and, as such, will help to ensure the availability of a safe space, communication about the program to the local schools, and will help to provide whatever other resources the group may need in the future.

All adults are welcome to attend, and no prior residency in the Duanesburg Central School District is required. Childcare is available, but needs to be reserved in advance by emailing info@dcpta.org
