North Central Kansas Down Syndrome Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support and resources to individuals with Down Syndrome and their families.

The NCKDSS was established in 2002 by two families in the NCK community. Their mission was to ensure their children full potential in community life. This mission is being fullfilled through education, research, and advocacy.

The Society has grown through various activities engagements and community awareness programs. Each October, which is National Down Syndrome Awareness month, NCKDSS sponsors a "Buddy Walk" to promote the acceptance of all people with Down Syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown every year from 30 participants to over 125 participants. We will be posting information for our 2009 Buddy Walk on the  NDSS.org Buddy Walk website.
