Camp PALS Volunteer Positions

PALS Programs is a nonprofit organization that provides one week long summer camp opportunities for teens and young adults with Down syndrome and their peers at 14 college campuses across the country, including PALS NYC at Fordham University and PALS NY at Cornell. PALS is currently accepting volunteer applications for Summer 2019 programs.

PALS Programs offers immersive one-week long summer camps for teens and young adults with Down syndrome and their peers. Volunteer counselors are paired one-to-one with a roommate who has Down syndrome for a week of incredible activities and trips. Trips have included a day at the beach, yacht cruises, amusement parks, and more!

PALS provides an opportunity for future healthcare professionals to gain experience with diverse populations, develop genuine friendships, and build leadership skills. Check out this video to see why volunteers call PALS the best week of the year!
