The Fine Print

Young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)—which include a range of disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism—often feel excluded and isolated from their peers, which can lead to solitary behavior that may carry over to adulthood. The Best Buddies Ambassador training creates opportunities for those with IDD to socialize, share their life stories, spread awareness about IDD, and successfully integrate at school and in the workplace.

Best Buddies Ambassadors receive training with a mentor buddy in speech writing and public speaking so they can become advocates for those with IDD and the Best Buddies programs. They learn the necessary tools to help spread awareness about IDD, with the goal to eliminate the use of the word "retard" from everyday language and ultimately create opportunities for others with IDD to socialize and become more involved citizens in their communities. After completing training, Ambassadors can speak to local legislators and Best Buddies chapters, train others with IDD, and work at recruitment fairs and other Best Buddies events.

Join G-Team and donate $10 to help people with IDD develop leadership and public-speaking skills. If G-Team members raise $300, then Best Buddies Central Florida can host an Ambassadors training program for 10 high-school students with IDD and their mentor buddies. The costs of the training program include marketing materials for mentor recruitment, food and beverages, training materials, and room rental. Each additional $300 raised will cover the costs for another Ambassador training program.

Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100 percent off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

The Groupon Guide to: Primetime Television

Primetime is the time of day when people watch the most television, falling between dinnertime and family silence hour. Here's a list of primetime show premises that you can use to make your primetime sitcom a hit:

• A single lady living in a city can't find anyone to date, so she has to move into her father's dog's apartment.

• A family full of embarrassing parents, cool teens, and unlimited aunts struggles each week with the teen daughter's decision to get a nose ring.

• Two post-adolescent guys who live together and fix bikes have a crush on the same bike.

• Six sexy friends share life, laughter, and a never-ending supply of sexual tension. They are also all moray eels living in an underwater cave.

• A small town has a football team it loves, until it finds out that the quarterback is dating everyone's wives.

• Two women open a shop that sells small handheld cakes, and one of them has the sassy ability to predict when someone is about to sneeze.

• A tight-knit group of 17 criminal investigators sets out to find out who the killer is but ends up finding out that they're all siblings.
