Volunteers

Men and women 12 to 80 years of age can help us by taking part in any of four volunteering programs.

1- Office help

We always need volunteers to help out in the office.

2- Help for special events

The Society holds many ALS fundraising and awareness activities throughout the year, such as the Celebrity Softball Game and Walks for ALS. These events always require a significant number of volunteers.

3- Friendly service for support activities

Once a month, we hold support groups and interactive group meetings for people living with ALS and their families. Volunteers provide support to the ALS Society staff and participants.

4- Friendly visitors

We are currently working on our friendly visitors program to provide natural caregivers a kind of respite during home visits as well as demonstrating empathy and lending a sympathetic ear to the person living with ALS and his or her caregivers.
