To Volunteer

Volunteers are an essential part of the Sinneave Family Foundation. Donating your time provides a multitude of benefits to both the volunteer and the organization; it is a great way to meet new people, make a difference in the community, and put skills and experience to good use.

We offer the following opportunities:

  1. Special Events: we are always in need of volunteers for our special events and fundraisers.
  2. General Daily Tasks: opportunities to help with mailings, manuals, filing, and other general office tasks are always available.
  3. Research and Program Assistance: our research and program departments are always in need of volunteers to assist with studies and community projects. Opportunities are available in both Calgary and Edmonton.

We are willing to accommodate unique talents and interests to find a way for you to best contribute your knowledge and skills.


To Participate in ASD Studies and Research

Several of Sinneave Family Foundation’s projects and partnerships involve discovering more about the experience of people with ASD and, importantly, the role and experience of their families. To learn more or to participate in these studies, please contact the Sinneave Foundation or the Research Projects directly.
