How You Can Help

CALL TO ACTION - THE PEOPLE FIRST CAMPAIGN ON TUESDAY, OCT.20

The Governor has announced that he will make further cuts to people with disabilities, and we cannot tolerate this!  As members of the Provider's Council and the Association of Developmental Disabilities Providers, we plan to flood the Governor's office with 10,000 emails, phone calls, Facebook and Twitter messages on Tuesday, October 20.  To join the campaign, please email cchan@hmea.org and say "I'm in!"

AFAM

The Autism Resource Center is a founding member of Advocates for Autism of Massachusetts (AFAM) which was formed in 2004 to address the need for full-time representation to give our families a voice on Beacon Hill. The Center encourages all parents and interested parties to become members of this organization. Visit AFAM's website

Internships

College students interested in a truly supported learning experience may choose to work with staff in various areas of the Center operations. Those seeking increased knowledge of the Autism Spectrum may choose to spend time with these unique children, and in conjunction with utilizing various aspects of what the Resource Center has to offer, developing a greater understanding of Autism with its many perplexing issues.

Students may also choose to work on other projects, communications, and marketing. While these areas do not include working hands-on with our children, students will gain knowledge of how to effectively fundraise for the autism community, promote awareness through outreach campaigns; organize and effectively lead volunteers.
