Highlighting the ND Autism Center for Dragon Volunteers
How does your organization serve our community?
The ND Autism Center provides services for individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities. We provide a childcare-type program called the Day Program, behavior consultation and therapy through our Behavior Services Program, and in home support (such as an extra set of hands for parents) in our In Home Supports Program. Our mission is to help individuals affected by autism and developmental disabilities reach their full potential through excellence in care, therapy, instruction and support.
How can student’s best serve with your organization?
Dragons can help our organization grow by volunteering to help in one of many volunteer opportunities.
Are there particular skillsets that you are looking for in your volunteers?
What we are looking for are energetic and motivated individuals who want to make a difference in people’s lives. If that describes you, come volunteer!
What specific volunteer opportunities does your organization have for MSUM students?
We have a number of volunteer opportunities that include working directly with the children, which requires certain time commitments. We also have opportunities in Communications (PR and Marketing), fundraising, special events, and administrative work. If there’s a particular area you’re interested in, let us know!
Do you have any internship opportunities for students?
Yes – stop by our table during the Volunteer & Service Fair, we’d love to talk to you about what kind of internship you’re interested in pursuing.
What do you appreciate about MSUM?
MSUM has been providing the ND Autism Center with volunteers for a few years. Volunteers’ time is precious and appreciated so we are grateful for the connection!
