Volunteer for Community Resources

Become a Volunteer!

Community Resources for People with Autism has been serving individuals with autism and their families in western Massachusetts for more than 18 years.  Our primary goal is to improve the lives of children and adults with autism.  We are dedicated to providing support to these individuals and their families, building community awareness, and helping them to fully integrate into their schools and community.

Community Resources would greatly appreciate your assistance.  Become a VOLUNTEER!  Presently, volunteer activities include participation in program governance, fundraising, event planning and coordination, and legislative advocacy.

A little time can go a long way.  If you are a parent, relative, friend, neighbor or professional, you are a valuable resource.  Not only can you can make a difference in the lives of children and adults with autism, you can connect with other families which are the greatest resource of all.  Please join us in our effort to support these children, their families, and the community as a whole.
