2018 Seattle Walk Community Distribution Event

ORGANIZATION: Autism Speaks

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Looking for volunteers to distribute print materials promoting the 2018 Autism Speaks Seattle Walk! Materials will be distributed to targeted zip codes "blitz style" throughout the week of July 7-14. Volunteers can pick up posters and brochures in Seattle and receive instructions on how to distribute them to businesses within a specific geographic area. Materials can also be mailed if arrangements cannot be made to pick them up. Volunteers will need to get around by driving their own vehicle as well as be able to cover an area walking (e.g. - drive to a strip shopping center and walk the length of the center stopping in each store).

We need a lot of help to blanket Seattle and the eastside with materials promoting our Walk. Please join us and recruit your friends! This is a great opportunity for high school students needing volunteer hours (licensed drivers with cars only). If you have questions, please call Lori Kiehle at 206-300-3561 or email PugetSoundWalk@autismspeaks.org. Thank you!

About Autism Speaks

Mission Statement

Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.

Description

Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Recognizing the need for a powerful voice Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization.

Today, Autism Speaks is dedicated to advancing research into causes and better treatments for autism spectrum disorders and related conditions both through direct funding and collaboration.

To accomplish this, Autism Speaks will relentlessly pursue strategies that make significant progress toward the following outcomes over the next 10 years:

  • A better understanding of the causes and typology of ASD
  • Children with an autism spectrum disorder being diagnosed before the age of 2
  • Children having access to appropriate intervention, services and resources immediately following diagnosis
  • The availability of better treatments both for underlying pathology as well as co-existing conditions that decrease quality of life for those with autism
  • People with ASD and their families have transition plans that result in more independent adult life that is meaningful to the individual
  • Individuals with ASD will have effective interventions, services and supports throughout their lifetime
