Mentor

Many people with Down syndrome would like to achieve greater independence and pursue personal goals such as developing new life skills and meaningful employment opportunities. Providing an adult with Down syndrome with a mentor is a way to support and assist them to develop and work towards fulfilling their future hopes and dreams. It offers an opportunity for exposure to new life experiences and enables them to seek advice and support from someone with different life experiences to their own.

Volunteer

Volunteering connects you to our community of families, saves your organization money, helps you build a network of parents to share information, and helps increase public awareness. DSA Nigeria exists to help support your family’s needs, please help us continue the support. Like talking to people? You’d probably be great at helping with our community efforts or staffing fund raising events that save us thousands of money.

  • Love parties? We’d love your help at one of our fundraisers. Or host a parent support group.
  • Got a special skill? We can always use writers, carpenters, marketers, etc.
  • Are you the quiet type? C’mon down and give us a hand in the office. Assist with mailings, answering phones, data entry, or preparing resource materials.

Have lots of friends? Help us organize a fundraiser. Start a support group. Head a team at the Buddy Walk Volunteering is a geat way to develop skills, fill in time, meet new people and make a contribution. It also looks great on a CV and makes you and the children feel good!
