Volunteers will need to register here: https://goo.gl/forms/uAp2upbDg3zgz9S93

Volunteer with Levy Restaurants and Orlando Magic! Volunteers needed for ALL Magic Home Games.

Come volunteer with us in a fast paced fun environment and help make a difference. Not only will your volunteer hours help our organization raise funds for our programs, you will have the opportunity to work alongside some of our adults with Down syndrome as they gain valuable work experience in our community so they can be placed in meaningful jobs that generate income, pride and a career path for their future.

By volunteering to work during the games as a server's assistant, volunteers will be helping The FOUNDATION raise money to support our scholarships and programs while raising awareness about our organization in the Magic's VIP lounge.

The goal of this partnership is twofold. As we volunteer we raise money for our iCan Work! Program, but we are also going to provide an employment training opportunity for individuals 18 years and older. We will open applications for these positions soon. We encourage the parents or adult siblings of potential candidates to volunteer before applying for the role. We know that you know your loved one best and want you to have first hand knowledge of what will be expected in this role. It's an exceptional opportunity and we look forward to interviewing and placing our candidates before the end of the year.

Our members will be able to contribute actual dollars to The FOUNDATION by donating their time in a fun and exciting environment. In addition, if you volunteer for five or more games you will meet your requirement of being an active member for the year.

Mission Statement

Our goal is to promote inclusion, understanding and acceptance by expanding opportunities for individuals, families and communities touched by Down syndrome. The mission of The Foundation is to empower lives for a brighter future by facilitating projects that enhance the welfare, education, health, and artistic and athletic abilities of individuals with Down syndrome. The vision of The Foundation is to create an environment where people with Down syndrome are included in every facet of the community.

Description

Welcome to the Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida!
We believe when POTENTIAL is given OPPORTUNITY the outcome is SUCCESS.

We envision a day where people with Down syndrome are fully included in their communities: working, playing, studying and living together with their peers.

We believe that the more opportunities any individual is given the greater the likelihood of their success. Every successful athlete, academic achiever or musical prodigy has many dedicated hours of practice, study and effort. It is our goal to provide more and more opportunities throughout the community for individuals with Down syndrome to be involved and included - not just because it is the right thing to do, but because we know EVERYONE will benefit from it! We provide scholarships, educational / informational programs, community / business partnerships to improve inclusion and legislative and political advocacy for issues related to individuals with developmental disabilities like Down syndrome.
