Volunteer

Hands, ears, and presence.

Most of our work runs on volunteers — peers who show up to the cohort, families who answer phones, and folks who staff the events that fund the whole thing.

Pick the roles that fit. We’ll follow up within a week to talk about timing, training, and what you’d like to learn.

A note on background checks

Family-liaison and peer-cohort roles require a background check (we cover the cost). Event and admin roles do not.
