Young Friends Board
The Young Friends Board is a group of young professionals that support DSAGSL’s program and fundraising efforts. It’s an opportunity to gain experience in a leadership role, meet new people, and support the Down syndrome community.
The Young Friends Board meets once a month at the DSAGSL office. Each member serves a minimum of one (1) two year term and has a personal fundraising goal of $500 annually. This contribution includes in-kind donations, sponsorships, and event registrations.
The Young Friends Board helps with monthly Circle of Friends meetups, as well as quarterly events such as the World Down Syndrome Day Bowling Event and Holiday Movie Party. Young Friends Board members also volunteer and support DSAGSL events such as the New Family Brunch, Step Up for Down Syndrome and Trivia Night, and members have the opportunity to join planning committees, attend Board of Directors meetings, and make lasting connections both personally and professionally.
