Volunteer With Us

Our outreach runs on volunteers. If you can give a day, we can put it to work in a community that needs it.

Why Volunteer

What you get out of it

Volunteering here is not free labour with a t-shirt. It is structured, supported, and documented.

Real skills, documented

Community health outreach, event logistics, health communication, and data collection — with a certificate recording your hours and role.

A community, not a mailing list

You will be placed on a team with survivors, health workers, and other volunteers who stay in touch beyond the event day.

Direct impact you can see

Volunteers are the reason someone gets screened who otherwise would not have. You see that happen in person.

Training before you start

Every volunteer is briefed on our approach, consent, privacy, and how to talk about cancer without causing fear.
