Oakland University Joanne and Ted Lindsay Foundation Autism Outreach (OUCARES) needs enthusiastic and reliable volunteers like YOU! Our programs are developed to help improve the quality of life for those impacted by autism. OUCARES volunteers are needed for year-round programs in art, social skills, basketball, soccer, golf, martial arts, computer programs, employable skills training, yoga, special events and so much more!
Our programs take place on OU’s campus and several off campus locations in Rochester Hills, Sterling Heights, and Farmington Hills. If you are ready to gain more then you give, are willing to provide positive encouragement, are dependable and have patience, then we will train you how to volunteer with individuals with Autism. Please contact us for more information at www.oakland.edu/oucares, email oucares@oakland.edu, or call (248) 370-2424. Thank you!
Volunteers must attend a 1-hour training & complete a background check prior to volunteering with any OUCARES event or program.More opportunities with Oakland University's Center for Autism Outreach Services OUCARES
