Bingo & Dinner
The high school social group is a monthly gathering for high school age teens with Down syndrome. The goal is to build friendships and foster independence in a safe and fun environment. These monthly events are most appropriate for older teens that are mostly independent and have a desire to (or their parents have a desire for them to) connect with peers. The locations vary from month to month but always include games, food, and fun! The events are hosted by DSACO with the support of volunteers. Food and drinks for teens provided by DSACO.
Families are welcome to gather in their own space at the location or drop off and pick up. While the teens socialize, parents are strongly encouraged to foster independence by hanging back and allowing our awesome volunteers to facilitate the outing. The goal is to allow our teens to enjoy time together without their parents hovering.
Registration deadline: Please register by Friday, January 9.
