Help DSFF with Our iCan! programs at the University of Central Florida

Dates (All Saturdays) in 2024 & 2025:

Saturday, December 7, 2024

Saturday, January 25, 2025

Saturday, February, 22. 2025

- College and Career Prep: Helping with registration.

- iCan! Excel: Helping with registration.

- iCan! Learn: How you can help! Our youngest members are divided into groups. Those groups will go through rotating sessions in which they will learn key developmental skills. The rotating sessions involve moving the children from room to room until all the sessions (usually about 4) have been completed. One volunteer per child would be ideal. We also need a "timekeeper" position to track the timing of each session and to give 5-minute warnings to all the rooms as they are wrapping up their session. A few volunteers are needed at the end of the program to reset the rooms and sanitize high-touch areas. Thank you!

About Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida

PO Box 533462, Orlando, FL 32853, US

Mission Statement

Our goal is to promote inclusion, understanding and acceptance by expanding opportunities for individuals, families and communities touched by Down syndrome. The mission of The Foundation is to empower lives for a brighter future by facilitating projects that enhance the welfare, education, health, and artistic and athletic abilities of individuals with Down syndrome. The vision of The Foundation is to create an environment where people with Down syndrome are included in every facet of the community.

Description

Welcome to the Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida!
We believe when POTENTIAL is given OPPORTUNITY the outcome is SUCCESS.

We envision a day where people with Down syndrome are fully included in their communities: working, playing, studying and living together with their peers.

We believe that the more opportunities any individual is given the greater the likelihood of their success. Every successful athlete, academic achiever or musical prodigy has many dedicated hours of practice, study and effort. It is our goal to provide more and more opportunities throughout the community for individuals with Down syndrome to be involved and included - not just because it is the right thing to do, but because we know EVERYONE will benefit from it! We provide scholarships, educational / informational programs, community / business partnerships to improve inclusion and legislative and political advocacy for issues related to individuals with developmental disabilities like Down syndrome.
