Autism Delaware relies on its dedicated volunteers to contribute through various committees. We simply could not provide the range of services, events and resources without our volunteers. There is a place for everyone on an Autism Delaware committee and we always need additional support and help.
If you are interested in any of the following committees, feel free to contact the committee chair or if you aren’t quite sure what the best fit for you or have a question, call us at 302-472-2638 or by e-mail at delautism@delautism.org.
