Summer Opportunity To Serve: PALS Prorgram Summer Camp August 4-10

This is an amazing experience.  Here from one of our own students:  “I think people should do PALS because you get to meet people from all over the country and have your own buddy to make fun and exciting memories with for the whole week. You get to go on field trips like Boardwalk, arcades, and water parks. Lastly, you get to participate and help others enjoy the camp for free!” Anjali Khiani, Senior at VCHS

 Join us for a transformative summer adventure at PALS Programs' an inclusive summer camp! PALS Programs is seeking students aged 15+ to be Peer volunteers at our week-long overnight camps hosted on college campuses nationwide, including at PALS San Francisco at Notre Dame de Namur University, August 4-10. At PALS, we pair Partners with Down syndrome with Peer volunteers 1 to 1 to create lasting friendships and unforgettable memories. You can earn up to 100 hours of volunteer service while having the time of your life, and it won't cost you a thing to join us. Many of our Peers return to join us for multiple summers because they've discovered the profound impact of the PALS experience, both in their personal and professional lives.
