We are completely volunteer run, which means that we rely on the generosity of our community to continue serving those impacted by Down syndrome! Our heart behind having volunteers working directly with our programs stems from wanting more people to experience the joy that is found in relationship with people with Down syndrome. We want to set the expectation from the beginning that our volunteers' heart posture towards those that we have the opportunity to serve should be one of honor, respect, and genuine love. We believe that it is not just our volunteers spending their time to serve our recipients, but that it is a mutual service in which both our volunteers and recipients benefit from knowing one another. Our volunteers do not exalt themselves above our recipients; we acknowledge our shared humanity and faithfully steward the gift that it is to love each person that we have the opportunity to. Whether through building comfort boxes, playing with children at a community event, or serving in another way, we know that our volunteers' and recipients' lives are being changed for the better!
