Why volunteer?

Why volunteer?

The Fondation Autisme Luxembourg needs volunteers all year round. 

Volunteers are highly regarded and make a vital contribution to the life of our Foundation. With your skills and talents, not to mention your wish to help, you would be a great asset by giving us some of your time. 

Indeed the success of the Foundation is largely due to the exemplary dedication of our exceptional volunteers.
