Adult Matters Social Events

Social Events in the community allow for adults with Down syndrome to come together to share common interests and establish relationships.

AIM (Advocates in Motion)

Adults with Down syndrome provide valuable in-kind volunteer hours by processing DSAGC mailings, writing Get Well cards, and supporting DSAGC events.

Ballroom Dancing

Mary Cook from A-Marika Dance Studios in Sharonville offers free ballroom dancing lessons on a weekly basis for adults with Down syndrome. Visit www.a-marika.com for more information about the dance studio.

Friendship Network

This unique, community website gives adults with Down syndrome a safe venue to chat, visit, and learn about each other’s interests so friendships can develop. The primary goal of the website is to increase social support and inclusion in the community in order to decrease the social isolation identified by adults with Down syndrome.

Friendship Network users can log on to chat with friends in the chat room, on the message board, or by sending private messages. You also have the opportunity to meet other individuals with Down syndrome from all over the country!

If you do not already have a Friendship Network account, you will want to sign up for an account right away! Read more

Social Outings

Throughout the year, the Adult Matters program offers outings to a variety of locations in the Greater Cincinnati Area. For example, we may go out to dinner and a movie, check out a special exhibit at the museum center, or possibly head to the mall to do some shopping.
