"At our organization, you can
have a seat 'at the table' while
changing the world from your sofa."
Loved ones, friends, and others who care about this cause can contribute - from sharing their experiences, questions, and concerns to donating their time to develop or manage our projects or by simply hosting a fundraiser.
Community. Volunteers are at the heart of all we do, without their passion and dedication to advancing education, advocacy, and research, we could not achieve our goals to change the future. From the moment a volunteer joins our team, they become part of a community - and a family.
Flexible . Since we were developed by those living with these diseases, we know flexibility is key. First, we conduct the majority of our work through virtual collaboration (no physical offices), so if you have access to the internet, you can volunteer. Also, we are open 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year, which enables anyone – located anywhere in the world and regardless of physical limitations – to be part of our work. Matter-in-fact, we often say, "Patients with our organization can change the world from their sofa." This is also a great model for non-patients, who can benefit from giving time when best for them!
Empowering. Our core leaders are "at the table", serving on advisory panels, participating as research liaisons, and using their stories to influence policy and education. Many also have extensive backgrounds in business, education, and research and serve as mentors to those who want to use their voices to do more. But you do not have to have any professional or patient advocacy experience to volunteer with us - whether the CEO or the newest volunteer, your voice matters and is heard!
