GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Fraser is Minnesota’s largest and most experienced provider of early childhood mental health services. The mission of Fraser is to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of children, adults and families with special needs by providing healthcare, housing, education and employment services.

As a buddy, you are a trusted friend to an adult with special needs living in one of their Independent Living apartment buildings located across the Metro. Whatever your favorite pastime, odds are you'll enjoy these activities even more with your buddy —  whether it’s bowling, reading, cooking or watching movies. Create memories that will last a lifetime. Make a difference. Be a buddy!
