Volunteers
The Walk depends on volunteers like you to recruit walkers and sponsors, as well as assist with helping the event run smoothly. Join our planning committee of enthusiastic veterans. By volunteering, you can help raise funds for autism treatments and make a positive difference for families in Northern Virginia.
