Facebook page: DSC Friends Tweens

This is a space to share friendship, learn about preferred activities for children and families, and be around in the community. We will explore different places, so recommendations from families are always welcome.

 

DSC Friends Social Group

DSC Friends is a slate of social groups, funded by the Down Syndrome Community and intended to foster relationships within groups related by age. Through DSC Friends, we will forge opportunities to build strong support networks and lasting friendships, for parents and their children.

DSC Friends events are not drop-off playdates, so an adult must be present and responsible for children.

As people near adulthood, they become more interested in affecting the world around them. We strive to offer both opportunities for enrichment and growth as well as occasions for advocacy—all intended to create strong, lifelong self-advocates.
