 Volunteers are essential to the function and growth of our Chapter. We always welcome new volunteers to assist with our Chapter events and day-to-day operations. There are numerous ways to get involved as a volunteer with our Chapter. A few examples include:
- Office Volunteer: Assist with mailings, data entry, filing, etc.
- Planning Committee: Assist with organizing and growing the Walk program.
- Walk Day Volunteer: Opportunities include registering teams, serving food or directing traffic.
- Care Services Volunteer: Assist our Care Services Team with various tasks (creating patient/ALS information packets, data entry, mailings, etc.)
- Join A Care Connection: Join a group that is designed to help a family with their specific needs by sharing caregiving responsibilities among a larger group of people. This approach has aided many ALS families and community caregivers as they deliver quality supportive care. Participation in a Care Connection is at the discretion of each family.
- Third Party Events: Throughout the year, we need volunteers for Third Party Events, such as awareness events at baseball stadiums, golf tournaments, etc.
- Advocacy: Each year in May, our Chapter visits Washington, D.C. to discuss and advocate for ALS funding, research and assistance for patients. We meet with our states’ U.S. representatives and senators to ask for their support on these issues. We always welcome new volunteers to join us each year on Capitol Hill. You can also get involved with our Chapter’s local advocacy priorities.
For more information or if you would like to volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator. She will send you a volunteer packet with an application. Thanks!
