Connecting Families
For just $35, you can help us do our work and receive members-only benefits at the same time! Benefits include:
— subscription to our e-newsletter, so you never miss out on important information or announcement of a DS ACT event
— reduced or free admission to our educational and social events
— admission to special members’ only events, like our summer picnic
— access to our IEP mentoring program, and first priority for our literacy and education programs
— access to the summer camp grant program for your loved one with Down syndrome
— access to the DS ACT mini-grant program for an organization that meets grant criteria. Membership in DS ACT also makes a great gift for grandparents, friends, or service professionals who want to learn more about Down syndrome. If you are applying for your own membership AND giving one as a gift, please complete a separate form for each gift, using the recipient’s contact information. Have questions? email us at info@mydsact.org and we’ll be glad to answer them.
If you are expecting a child with Down syndrome or if your child is less than a year old, you qualify for a free one-year membership. Email our First Call Coordinator, Patty Alessandro, firstcall@mydsact.org and she will create one for you. Be sure to tell us about your loved one!
If you are new to our organization or are returning after many years away, we offer a complimentary one-year membership. Email Executive Director Shanon McCormick at smccormick@mydsact.org for more information.
