The ATOU team of volunteers travels to schools across eleven counties, bringing our hands-on disability-awareness program to students. The core program, a three-hour presentation, is powerful and provides an opportunity for students to experience what it might be like to have a disability or to feel different.

Volunteers are essential to ATOU. As part of each school program, we have 2-3 volunteer speakers and 4-8 volunteer activity instructors.

A Touch of Understanding is always looking for committed volunteers to assist with weekly presentations and other events during the year. Our volunteers form the heart of A Touch of Understanding, and we always welcome new people.

High school and College students may earn community service hours by volunteering with ATOU.
