Volunteer with us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are a small organisation with limited resources and volunteers play a critical role in enabling Down Syndrome Victoria to empower individuals with Down syndrome for a lifetime of meaningful inclusion in the community. The organisation, which began in 1978, was actually started by volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteering is a way to connect with your local community as well as provide a pathway to both personal and skill development. Volunteering is open to people of all ages and individuals with a disability are encouraged to apply. Email volunteer@dsav.asn.au or phone 03 9486 9600 for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
