Tourette Canada
At Tourette Canada, our volunteers are our most valued resource. Volunteers raise funds and deliver vital programs and services, helping Tourette Canada deliver its mission to create awareness and understanding through education, advocacy and support. If you have time to give, whether it’s a few hours a month, a couple of hours to help out at an event, or even wish to serve as a Tourette Canada Community Representative or Community Council member, you can make a difference!
Tourette Canada will assist you in choosing the volunteer activity that suits you best and provide training to help you be successful. We look forward to having you join our nationwide team of dedicated Tourette Canada volunteers!

Our volunteers donate countless hours to the board of directors, event planning, fundraising, In-Service programming, advocacy, increasing awareness, providing support and countless other impactful activities.
