Volunteering with NWACS


NWACS runs completely on volunteer power. NWACS Volunteers have been working for almost 50 years to raise awareness of AAC in our community. Being active with NWACS is a great way to get involved with our AAC community, gain experience, and network. Not to mention spend time with fun, like-minded people! Volunteers assist with:

  • our annual conference,

  • writing blog posts,

  • developing content for the website, resources, and YouTube,

  • community outreach,

  • events for professionals and families,

  • committees,

  • special projects,

  • and much more!
