College Volunteer Program
Marcus Autism Center offers volunteer opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students during the summer months. Due to the large number of applications and limited available opportunities, we are unable to place everyone who applies. However, we work to match your interests and availability with our needs.
Note: Clinical volunteer opportunities for summer 2010 are currently filled. If you still wish to submit an application, we will keep it on file in the event that additional opportunities become available. When submitting your application, indicate the times and dates you are available.
How to Apply
Allow two--three weeks for processing applications, including a background check. When you submit your application, make sure that all required consent forms are attached. Applications may be mailed to the address shown or faxed to 404-785-9305 ATTN: Sharon Young.
E-mail Sharon Young, Coordinator of Volunteer Services, if you have questions about the application process.
