PALS Programs
Organization Description
Our model pairs similarly-aged individuals with and without Down syndrome in one-to-one partnerships. Each pair joins a team of 4–5 other pairs, led by a highly trained volunteer. Teams spend a full week (7 days, 6 nights) living in dorms, enjoying on-campus activities, off-campus adventures, and building transformative friendships. PALS also offers modified 5-day, 4-night programs during the off-season and for adults 21+ in the summer. These programs provide more opportunities for independence, personal choice, and age-specific experiences.
