Extra Awesome Extra Awesome is a student-run program that pairs youth with exceptionalities and their siblings with Queen's students.

In partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of Kingston, Extra Awesome is a student-run program that pairs youth with exceptionalities and their siblings with Queen's students. Together, they participate in weekly sessions consisting of a new activity each week (i.e. skating in the square, learning computer skills, tie dying in the park etc.). These sessions aim to work on integration, relationships, life skills and overall FUN! Jenn Evans, a fourth year Kinesiology student at Queen's University, launched Extra Awesome in 2015. Our volunteers are all students studying at the School of Kinesiology and Heath Studies at Queen's University. We run our program once a week on Wednesdays from 4:00-6:30 pm. Additionally, we are always coordinating and running events with the Down Syndrome Association of Kingston. If you have any questions or concerns you can message or email us ([email protected]).
