I worked the Orange County Walk event as a volunteer photographer and had a wonderful time. The organization is well-run, task assignments are clear, and there was just such good energy at the event. You can tell the staff (especially Sasha) really cares about the cause and was willing to do whatever they could to answer my questions and make it easy for me to perform my job to the best of my abilities. I would absolutely love to work with Autism Speaks again in the future and would suggest it to anyone interested in helping out the community and furthering the cause of autism awareness.
