Because we are an organisation for and by autistic adults, we do not accept volunteers who are under 18 or who are not autistic themselves. This allows us to guarantee volunteer experience placements for autistic adults and keeps our activities based on own experience of having autism as an adult.
Extra information
Are you interested? Then contact our director, Frederik Boven. He will contact you within 24 hours (excluding holidays). He will then make an appointment for an interview via Zoom. This interview takes about 35-40 minutes. If you like, someone you know can be present during the interview. If you want, you can get the questions in advance. On the one hand, this interview serves to get to know you and see if the position suits you. On the other hand, we will give more information about the position and our organisation.
