The PALS Programs, a nonprofit
organization that provides one week long summer camp opportunities for teens
and young adults with Down syndrome and their peers at 14 college campuses across
the country, is currently accepting volunteer applications for their Summer 2019 programs.
Volunteer
counselors are paired one-to-one with a roommate who has Down syndrome for a
week of incredible activities and trips. Trips have included a day at the
beach, yacht cruises, amusement parks, and more.
PALS provides an opportunity for future
healthcare professionals to gain experience with diverse populations,
develop genuine friendships, and build leadership skills. Check out this video to
see why volunteers call PALS the best week of the year!
Currently, they have openings for male volunteers at several of their programs this summer.To learn more and apply, visit their website: https://www.palsprograms.org/applyforsummer. Questions can be directed to rosemary@palsprograms.org.
