Therapy Volunteers offers unique volunteer opportunities in several countries, including Ecuador, Belize, Mexico, Honduras, and beyond. As a volunteer, you’ll gain valuable insight into the careers of Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). You’ll play an important role in providing life-changing pediatric services to children and their families who may not have access otherwise.
