Aim High
Introduction

"...you take your aim; be sure you aim high enough. That's the thing — aim high enough"

Dr John Langdon Down  (1828 - 1896)

 

Everyone can AIM HIGH. 

Everyone has strengths and talents.

Everyone has something to contribute.

Be sure you aim high enough...

Aim High New Program 2011

If you are a person with Down syndrome over 18, you might be interested in the Aim High Program.  The 2007-2008 Pilot Project was so successful that an ongoing Club was formed for participants in 2009, and is still continuing in 2011.  A new Aim High Program will also commence in 2011 for another group of young adults.  We already have a list of participants for this year's new program.  However, we hope to run the Program again whenever we have funds to do this.  So if you are interested but have missed out this time, look out for future programs.  We have also had some interest from the country.  If you live in a country area and would like to do the Program, let us know.  It might be possible to run the Program in your local area if enough people are interested and local funding can be obtained.  Click HERE to contact us about doing the Program.
