​Mission And Vision

Our Mission
The mission of the DSANM is to provide support for individuals, families, and caregivers touched by Down syndrome. We offer hope, encouragement and acceptance through advocacy, education and awareness.

Our Vision DsUpNorth is working hard building more connecting activities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.  Our goal is to create more opportunities within our community for these individuals to thrive in, contribute to, and succeed in.  We hope to form a stronger society with lasting relationships and lifelong memories.  We continue to further our knowledge of the different circumstances each diagnosis story holds to better advocate for our loved ones, and educate our community.  DsUpNorth keeps pushing for inclusion because no one should live life on the side lines.  We are here to make a difference, make an impact, and to show the world we are more than a diagnosis.  After all, it's that little something extra that makes it all worthwhile.
