We cannot do our valuable work without the incredible support of a willing band of volunteers; Some become Family Support Befrienders, while others help with our events, training courses, or in the office.
At Ups and Downs Southwest, we know volunteering can transform our community and those who participate.
Our diverse volunteers are motivated by various reasons—making friends, gaining skills, or giving back after personal experiences with Down Syndrome. We welcome anyone passionate about making a difference!
You can explore volunteering opportunities like becoming a Befriender or Parent Supporter, providing emotional support and assistance to families facing the challenges of raising a child with Down Syndrome.
