Volunteer
DSAGSL simply could not provide the programs and services to the nearly 2000 individuals with Down syndrome in the area and their families, without the help of volunteers. DSAGSL offers several opportunities to volunteer throughout the year including special event support, as well as program help. Please feel free to browse the list of opportunities we have coming up. Follow the link for that event and choose an open slot that works for you.
Thank you for your support!
Circle of Friends
3rd Saturday Every Month 2pm-4pm at the DSAGSL
Circle of Friends is an inclusive social opportunity for teens and adults with Down syndrome and their typical peers! The theme of each event changes from month to month, and activities include group games, movement and exercise, arts and crafts, and more. We aim to pair up 1 volunteer to 1-3 people with Down syndrome, to ensure an opportunity where people of all different abilities feel included and can build relationships with one another.

DSAGSL Trivia Night

This might be the largest Trivia Night you’ve every seen. We need volunteers to help us create an amazing experience for the nearly 700 guests we have coming to play Trivia and support the DSAGSL on this incredible night. Volunteer roles include selling raffle tickets, serving snacks throughout the night, scoring answer sheets, and so much more. Alcoholic beverages are served at Trivia so we do require volunteers to be 18+ years old, or must be volunteering with a parent.
