Our Adult Day Programs (ADPs) provide social, recreational and therapeutic activities for seniors, individuals with a disability, Alzheimer's disease or other dementia in a safe and supervised environment. Activities are designed to be accessible to each participant by focusing on their abilities, not their disabilities. Activities could include exercise classes, cards and games, art and crafts, music and cooking. Program runs Monday to Friday 9am-3pm. Volunteers come in during a planned timeslot to assist with the programs and visit with the clients. 

Autism Ontario offers a variety of volunteer opportunities across seven regions in Ontario. Our volunteers play a crucial part in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. By joining our team, you’ll help foster inclusive communities and contribute to important programs and events.

Volunteers can participate in roles like Program/Events Support, Bingo Volunteer Support, or Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) representation. Our programs are flexible, and we ask volunteers to commit to at least one event per quarter. Whether you’re helping at in-person events, participating in our committee groups or advocating for special education, your contribution is essential to our success.

Key responsibilities may include assisting with event setup and cleanup, supporting program participants, advocating for special education needs, and ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved. We ask volunteers to commit to at least one event per quarter, offering flexibility that fits your schedule.
