Help Change the Narrative Around Down Syndrome
Do you have a child with Down syndrome? Are you empathetic and able to communicate with families from diverse backgrounds and experiences, meeting them “where they are” on their new journey as parents? You may be a good fit as a Regional Lead Parent or a Basket Delivery Parent!
Regional Lead Parents (RLP)
Regional Lead Parents are the local face of Jack’s Basket in regions across the United States. RLPs are critical to our mission of celebrating every baby diagnosed with Down syndrome as they create personal relationships with medical providers around the country and coordinate parent-delivered baskets reaching new families in their local area.
Please find qualifications, key responsibilities, and the application form below.
Basket Delivery Parents (BDP)
Basket Delivery Parents are the face of Jack’s Basket with families. BDPs deliver baskets to parents in their area and connect with parents outside of their area over the phone. They are key members of our mission, ensuring that every new and expectant parent is provided resources and avenues of support; from one parent to another.

What our Volunteers are Saying:
“Delivering baskets has become my favorite thing and I love fostering long-term connections with these families. The opportunities to connect and support others who are just starting this journey is such a blessing.”
“My life is richer and my purpose is greater because of this role. It’s an honor to serve in this ministry, delivering one basket of hope at a time.”
“I’m so deeply grateful to have found Jack’s Basket. It had such a positive impact on us when we first had our baby. It was the only positive experience we had around his diagnosis. The parent volunteer who came to deliver our basket gave us so much hope and support. I’m so grateful that I can now offer that to new families.”
