UN’s Sustainable Development Goals:

Quality Education

This program is ideal for

Compassionate individuals with a passion for making a difference. Volunteers should be patient, empathetic, and have a genuine interest in working with children, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. Creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to collaborate with teachers are essential traits for enriching the classroom experience.

Our program at ASHA offers a fulfilling opportunity for volunteers eager to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Volunteers will work alongside experienced teachers, aiding in the creation of engaging educational materials and activities. With a focus on collaboration and creativity, volunteers will contribute to a nurturing classroom environment. This unique experience not only enriches the lives of the children but also provides volunteers with valuable insights and personal growth. Join us in making a meaningful impact within our ASD community.
