About Our Volunteers

PACE is supported completely by volunteers. We have four Team Leaders and a pool of twelve Support Team Leaders. Team leaders deliver the sessions and the support team leaders ensure accessibility to the activities by the participants.

Ashima, Anjali and Jaspaul interviewed some of our volunteers. This is what they said.
