Our volunteers are extraordinary! We are fortunate to have the support of a large and dedicated group, many of whom have continually stepped forward in loving service since the project began. Volunteering with The Freedom to Choose Project (FTC) is an enriching experience, which provides each volunteer with opportunities to be of service in addition to mastering the same skills we offer our participants. These skills support greater healing, effective communication, emotional intelligence, self-determination, and a higher degree of happiness. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, here’s how you can get started.

If there is an event that you would like to volunteer in, please submit your volunteer intention in the time frame specified. Note: Each application is project specific.
