About the Volunteer Program

Volunteer projects vary throughout the year. There’s always a need for all types of skills and experiences, so you don’t need to be a scientist or an expert to apply. The program is flexible, matching available opportunities to your talent and availability. Volunteers often move on to another project or area with the ATF after completing their initial assignments.
Volunteers help with a wide range of projects, from special events, educational programs to administrative tasks. Most volunteer projects begin with one-on-one training with a staff therapist and then develop into independent work.
Whether you’re an individual interested in ongoing projects or a group wishing to participate in a Done-in-a-Day program, you can help provide vital services and support to many children.
