On the heels of National Volunteer Week (April 18-24), the next episode of Hands in Motion honors the celebration of volunteerism by discussing the many exciting volunteer opportunities available within ASHT, including microvolunteering, division/committee membership and how to be a part of the ASHT leadership. ASHT is almost completely run by volunteer members who dedicate their time to advance the society in areas of advocacy, education, therapist mentoring, research, state and federal regulations, content and more.
