Empower Education Through Giving
Our dedication and your donation will directly support our educational programs including: Education Station, 22q University Webinars, Career Pathways, Riley Dempster 22q Family Foundation Scholarship and outreach/teaching to professionals and school support staff. We offer all of these direct services free of charge to families and individuals in our community.
Education Station
Educational Consulting Program- (geared for families with children school-age thru transitioning beyond high-school). We partner our educational expert, Donna Cutler-Landsman and her team of consultants, with families to help support them, educate them, and offer advice regarding IEP (individualized Education Plan) for their child. Our consultants also work closely with schools to educate the school staff on the unique learning profile of these students. In total, we have helped over 300 families/individuals get the educational support and resources they need since 2016. We have trained close to 3,400 school staff about 22q as well.
Career Pathways
Career Consulting Program-(geared for teens and adults with 22q, as well as parents looking for a career change). We partner our Career Coach, Jason Osborn, with individuals looking to find a job, internship, or new career. Jason will work with you or your child on resume building, interview readiness skills, and self-advocacy; helping them select their best pathway after high school.
