Volunteers are an integral component of CAOT’s success, helping the Association further its mission of advancing excellence in occupational therapy.
Volunteers can contribute to a committee, workshop, practice network, or conference to name a few, providing valuable work and social experiences that generate a sense of personal achievement and satisfaction.
Volunteer roles come in a wide range of time commitments and responsibilities.
