Autism Ontario offers a variety of volunteer opportunities across seven regions in Ontario. Our volunteers play a crucial part in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. By joining our team, you’ll help foster inclusive communities and contribute to important programs and events.

Volunteers can participate in roles like Regional Events & Program Support, Bingo Volunteer Support (must be 18+), or Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) representation (must be 18+ and Canadian citizen).

Our programs are flexible, and we ask volunteers to commit to at least one event per quarter. Whether you’re helping at in-person events, participating in our committee groups or advocating for special education, your contribution is essential to our success.

Key responsibilities may include assisting with event setup and cleanup, supporting program participants, advocating for special education needs, and ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved. We offer flexibility that fits your schedule.
