Information for STUDENTS

First, make sure you understand the type of work we do. We’re outdoors in all kinds of weather, on primitive sites in nature with limited access to running water and other amenities. You will be active and move a lot in this role! Please review our website and our social media profiles on FB & IG @outdoorkidsot to understand the demands of this kind of unique pediatric OT work in nature to make sure it is a good fit for you. If you’re up for the adventure, read on…. :)

For Pre-OT Students Seeking Volunteer Hours

For consistency for the children and families we serve, we require volunteers to commit to consistent weekly attendance for 2 hours/week to assist with a therapy group over the course of a semester, or preferably a whole school year. You are allowed to volunteer for more than one group to accrue hours faster if you prefer. Pre-OT students must track their own hours, maintain a consistent schedule, and maintain professionalism.

Requirements:

  1. Complete the volunteer application for your desired location (see links above).

  2. Pass a background check.

  3. Complete onboarding paperwork and pre-volunteer orientation and trainings.

Fieldwork placements are booked about 6 months to 1 year in advance. The following steps should be completed in order. We cannot accept students without a affiliation agreement in place with your university.

Requirements:

  1. Check our list of OT school affiliations below. If your school is not listed, speak with your fieldwork coordinator to have them contact support@outdoorkidsot.com to set up an affiliation agreement with OKOT.

  2. Once the affiliation agreement is in place, send your resume and an initial inquiry email to support@outdoorkidsot.com to indicate your interest. Capstone students, please indicate what you envision doing for your capstone experience in a specific area of focus.

  3. Complete a 30 minute video interview with an OKOT therapist.
