This new program is designed to build a larger base of volunteers across the country who are willing to step up in small ways throughout the year. This program can serve as a stepping stone for future National Workers or as a way for previous volunteers to continue sharing their time and talents with the organization. And the best news? You can pick which tasks you’re most interested in! Learn more about this great new program, then complete the application.

You can choose the department in which you prefer to work! We are currently accepting applications for National Workers for the 2024-2025 term. Give back to other parents of multiples while you make new friends and help clubs and members across the country. We need you!

New Research Study on Autism

Parental Stress: A Comparative Study of Single and Multiple Birth Children with Autism
Parenting children who are diagnosed with autism comes with its own list of joys and stresses. Our newest research partner wants to know more. The purpose of this study is to examine parental stress levels of caregivers who have children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Damion Garcia, under the advisement of Dr. Nancy Segal from California State University, Fullerton, is studying parental stress in families with single and multiple birth children with autism. Participants take an online survey that takes about 15 or 20 minutes to complete.

Learn more about the study on our website, or you can access the survey link directly.
