We are so glad you are interested in volunteering with The Summit Centre for Preschool Children with Autism.

The following information will allow you to make an educated decision on how you could help at The Summit Centre.

All The Summit Centre volunteers need a police clearance (less than one year old) and three letters of reference. Two letters must be from professors, professionals, parents you have worked for in-home, etc, and one may be personal, so you may want to start on those right away. Please also note that our volunteers sign a statement that they are not the subject of a pending police investigation.

To help us let you know if we have a volunteer opportunity that would match your needs, please e-mail us with:

Areas in which volunteers are needed: Lunch monitor, break monitor, parent group child care, cleaning, maintaining toys, centre beautification, craft and circle preparation, structured break, program preparation, administration help, sibling group, reverse integration, video help, literary review.

The Volunteer Coordinator will get back to you with more information.

Thank you for your interest in The Summit Centre. For us to consider your request we require a contact name and number of your professor or instructor and yourself, the name of the institution, the course and the details of the assignment i.e, timeline, information needed in the form of questions. The Volunteer Coordinator will contact you once we have received this information to discuss your request.

The Summit Centre trains approximately 25 students per year including: high school co-op, educational assistants, autism and behavioural science, University of Windsor psychology, music therapy, education and nursing students. We accept up to 12 students per semester with a priority given to University of Windsor students. If you are interested in a placement position your placement supervisor should contact the centre. Placements are determined approximately a month prior to the semester starting.
