Service Projects
Support an Event

Conduct an Advocacy/ Awareness Campaign
There are a lot of myths about Down syndrome and the people who have it. To create a more accepting and inclusive world for all people, including those with Down syndrome, it’s important to provide the people in our communities with accurate information. You can help by making posters or passing out flyers to inform others about the myths and facts on Down syndrome as well as all the ways that people with Down syndrome contribute to our society. Take a look at our website to learn more!
