Committee's and  Volunteers

ASD 's needs are met by operating various committees that consist of a chair person and hopefully a few committee members. ASD's success has been built entirely by volunteers and to continue this success, more volunteers are always needed and welcomed.

Everyone has something to offer ASD! There are so many committees that there is bound to be one just for you. 
If you are interested in any of the following committees, feel free to contact the committee chair.  
Not sure what you can do? Not to worry. Just call ASD directly at 302-472-2638 or email delautismdelautism.org
and we will find a place just right for you!
