Volunteer Duties

MAPS offers opportunities for student volunteers to develop their skills and broaden their experiences while supporting a great cause. Volunteers will learn the internal responsibilities of a fast-paced progressive non-profit research organization that is working to change the way the world thinks about psychedelic medicines, by developing MDMA (Ecstasy) and other psychedelics into prescription medicines.
Notes We have had 12 regular volunteers who give 10-20 hours a week, as well as many volunteers who work on task or event specific duties, averaging 3-4 hours in one day for a project. Updated 02/15/2017
