Our volunteer partners and leaders enhance every aspect of AOTF. Throughout the year, we collaborate with volunteers from various sectors of occupational therapy and related disciplines as well as community partners to provide the programs you rely on.
Through a range of diverse and engaging volunteer opportunities, supporters contribute their time and skills by serving on AOTF committees, review groups, and special task forces.
