Volunteering with ASA
The success of our program is due to nearly 200 volunteers who generously contribute more than 15,000 hours each year. Volunteers range in age from 7 to 70 and include people of all walks of life.
Lifelong friends, hugs, smiles and tears of joy are just some of the rewards that our family of volunteers receive. We provide all of the necessary training for our volunteers. No experience is necessary. For more information on winter volunteer opportunities for the 2007-2008 season, please click here!
