Creating Richer Lives Through Inclusion & Awareness
Every day, our volunteers, board members, friends, families, community members and
part-time staff create opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome or other developmental disabilities to live richer lives.
About Us
​
The Down Syndrome Network of Northern Nevada is a non-profit organization started by a group of visionary parents who wanted to directly impact children, families and the community as they journeyed through life with a loved one with Down syndrome.
Started in 2007, our grassroots organization is made up of volunteers that believe that through creative programs and partnerships, we can facilitate opportunities and experiences for people with Down syndrome. Our goal is to promote inclusion, understanding, and acceptance by expanding opportunities for individuals, families, and communities touched by Down syndrome.
