Ace CARE Topics

How can I get involved if I'm not a physical therapy student?

Undergraduate Students

  • Without experience with other languages: Undergraduate students with an interest in physical therapy are encouraged to volunteer with our Ace+PT branch as a clinic tech. Please visit our Meet the Board page and contact the Clinic Co-Coordinator (Client Advocate) to volunteer or to request more information about the tech position.

  • Experience speaking another language/or majoring in foreign language: Ace CARE serves all members of the community, including people who don’t speak English as their first language. We have a large volume of patients whose primary language is Spanish, as well as patients who speak various other languages, and would love to have your help interpreting in the Ace+PT clinic so we can communicate effectively with them! Please visit our Meet the Board page and contact the Clinic Co-Coordinator (client advocate) to volunteer or to request more information about interpreter positions.

  • Experience using American Sign Language (ASL): Our AceBuddies branch serves individuals who use ASL to communicate, and we would love to have your help to communicate with these participants and help them feel as welcome and understood as possible! Please visit our Meet the Board page and contact the AceBuddies Coordinator to volunteer or to request more information about this opportunity.

  • Education majors (or otherwise interested in education): Our AceBuddies branch has had students in the education program help out in the past and would love for this to continue! Please visit our Meet the Board page and contact the AceBuddies Coordinator to volunteer or to request more information about this opportunity.
