Volunteers are the backbone of our organization and programs. The Organization of Special Needs Families is proud to announce that more than 1,600 volunteers have been involved in many different ways with our programs since 2002.
If you are looking for a fun and rewarding volunteer experience, you've come to the right place! OSF provides the opportunity for anyone to interact directly with our special needs students, helping them through our various programs. You've never known how it feels to directly impact another person's life positively until you help those in need. The strength of our community is based on how well our special needs and disabled members live their lives. Come benefit yourself and your community at OSF!
