Our Mission: Increasing Accessibility Through the Power of CommunityDisabilities can manifest in various ways, and there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to the disability community. At On the Moov, we are passionate about providing personalized support to meet the needs of disabled students at The University of Texas at Austin. The system consists of student helpers signing up for a shift to aid a disabled student at predetermined times. Student helpers offer aid in one of two ways: they can walk with a disabled student to aid transport around campus, or they can eat a meal with a disabled student to aid with getting food and opening packages. These student volunteers are often referred to as "buddies" or "walking buddies," because the volunteer maintains the role of a friend and peer while assisting their fellow student, which encourages an enjoyable, casual experience for both the disabled students and student volunteers involved. After a year of actively engaging in the partnership, many participants form meaningful friendships, which stands as a testament to the powerful, personal communities developed by On the Moov.
