The Brown Center for Autism is deeply grateful for the selfless sacrifices of its many volunteers. These individuals are the lifeblood of our Center.
Multiple volunteer and internship opportunities are available at any given time--particularly within our home behavioral program, which provides an extremely valuable continuum of care and support to our families within the home setting.
This program offers volunteers a high degree of flexiblity, as well as opportunities for personal growth. Individuals serving in this program will receive training and supervision from our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and will be supervised by the child´s parent within the home.
Opportunities for individuals desiring to serve as behavioral assistant are also available within the Center, as we strive to maintain a 1:1 therapist to student ratio whenever possible. These positions are also trained and supervised by our BCBA.
Volunteer opportunities are not limited to working directly in the therapeutic setting. Your personal strengths are valuable to us and can also be utilized in the areas of office/clerical work, building and grounds maintenance, marketing, web updating, just to name a few.
We invite you to contact us at 615.385.7994 if you are interested in volunteering or if you have questions regarding volunteer opportunities.

what people are saying
"The Brown Center provides a great service to children on the spectrum, targeting behaviors but also all areas of development. The fact that these children receive therapy (Speech, OT, behavior, optional Music therapy) DAILY in the "just-right" amount of doses, is incredible. The facility is monitored by cameras so parents have constant feedback, and the Brown center also educates the family members through trainings. I have witnessed first-hand the success of children through their program and commend them all!"
