Employment Support
- Currently, Family, Friends and Duchenne is run solely by volunteers, so no employment opportunities are available.
- However, we are more than happy to be a stepping stone in your endeavors. We will gladly provide a letter of reference for you when you are ready to pursue employment or other volunteer opportunities.
- Lastly, if you are an individual with Duchenne seeking assistance in finding employment, we may be able to help you find some Duchenne-friendly organizations to interview with. Contact us to learn more.
