This Giving Tuesday, help people with Down syndrome secure a bright future... 
 
With a few clicks, you can do something critically important this holiday season - promote meaningful employment opportunities for people with Down syndrome. 

The funds you contribute to our Your Next Star campaign will directly make an impact in helping self advocates get higher education opportunities, learn job skills, and open the eyes of employers to the abilities of people with Down syndrome.

A New Website to Educate and Inspire
 
In October, at the start of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we officially launched our Your Next Star public awareness campaign.

For the MDSC and our members, people with Down syndrome having successful work lives directly relates to everything we do. Expectant parents need to know their children will have complete, fulfilling lives as adults. Families with school-age children need to know all their educational efforts will pay off in "the real world." And employment is a huge part of the equation when talking about all our programs, whether it's related to inclusion, leadership or social opportunities.

Since everyone can relate to the need for good employment opportunities, we hope you'll join us on this journey.

 
FOUR WAYS TO TAKE ACTION!



You can make a difference in helping us to improve employment opportunities for people with Down syndrome

People with Down syndrome and other disabilities have drastically higher unemployment rates than their non-disabled peers despite typically showing more loyalty and lower turnover, and having similar job performance ratings.

Your support on Giving Tuesday can go a long way in helping us to change that!
