Position Title: Coordinator, Medical Outreach

Status: Part-time, Nonexempt

Pay Range: $21.15–$26.92 per hour

 

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

ElevateDD is a platform dedicated to statewide advocacy work created to represent the entire scope of services and programming offered through each of our communities: the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO), Adult Literacy Ohio, and Learning Aid Ohio. The ElevateDD name represents what drives our advocacy, education, and innovation: elevating the voices of people with developmental disabilities, elevating the needs of families, and elevating advocacy issues to leaders and decision makers. 

 

Our roots began with DSACO, which was created to support families, promote community involvement, and encourage opportunities for people with Down syndrome. As we continued to innovate and identify additional needs of those who we serve, we expanded programming to offer statewide developmental disability services. This growth resulted in the formation of two additional communities: Learning Aid Ohio and Adult Literacy Ohio. ElevateDD, through its various communities, now serves people with developmental disabilities and their families throughout every county in Ohio.
