At the Down Syndrome Association of Brazos Valley, we are advocators and educators, planners and plodders, volunteers and visionaries all driven by the core belief that people with Down syndrome deserve to live and work in a loving, inclusive community as well as opportunities to live the life of their choosing. All of the work we do, every spreadsheet created, event planned and class created is to fulfill our mission. We are always on the look-out for interns, student workers, and contract teachers to join the team.
