Circle of Friends is a monthly gathering for teens and adults who have Down Syndrome. Our monthly gatherings provide opportunities for socialization with volunteers and peers in a fun and safe environment. Activities often include zoom meetings with activities, going to a movie or restaurant, bowling, dancing, karaoke, and more.
Circle of Friends is an opportunity to develop a social network and spend some time away from parents while caregivers get a chance to catch up on errands or spend time with other siblings. Follow us on Facebook for updates on monthly activities.
