The Volunteers

The APS Volunteer Program (Get Involved) seeks to enable our volunteers to have the experience they want to have - this is how we feel they can contribute most effectively and teach us the most. If a volunteer has an idea on how to improve our work, that idea is likely to be used.

People from all backgrounds and walks of life, Spanish-speaking or not, have volunteered for APS. Here is just a small list of former APS volunteers and their contributions:
