Our Mission Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for all people with Down syndrome by empowering individuals, families and professionals with information and support through education, social programs and community partnerships. Our Vision We envision a world of true inclusion in which all people with Down syndrome have the chance to lead typical lives of possibility and opportunity, reach their goals and become valued members of welcoming communities. The DSA of Greater Charlotte and You Whether you’re the parent of a child diagnosed with Down syndrome, a person with Down syndrome, or simply a member of the community looking to make a difference, there is a role for you at the DSA of Greater Charlotte. We are not just an organization – we are a family, and together we work to make our community a better place not only for its members with Down syndrome, but for all of us. Every donation and effort brings our family closer, and the bonds we make here last a lifetime. We serve several counties in both North and South Carolina that make up the Greater Charlotte Area.
