Join DSAP's Volunteer Database
As DSAP serves the Greater Pittsburgh region as well as most of Western PA, we invite you to join our volunteer database. There are several ways to serve from event volunteers, to parent partners, to even consider a seat on our Board of Directors.
Please note that we are using a new sign-up program called Bloomerang Volunteer. By signing up to volunteer, you will now have a Bloomerang Staff/Volunteer account where you can manage your sign-ups, track your volunteer hours, as well as access additional available volunteer opportunities at the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh.

There is also a Bloomerang Volunteer app available in the Apple App Store and in the Google Play Store, which also allows you to easily access your Staff/Volunteer account.
