Our volunteer partners and leaders enrich every function of AOTF. We work throughout the year with volunteers from all areas of occupational therapy and the public to deliver the programs you have come to rely on.
Through diverse and interesting committee opportunities, dozens of volunteers donate their time and talent to serve on an AOTF committee.
