Volunteer

Volunteering your time today can make a difference for the kids of tomorrow.

Our team is not just the 18 staff in our office. Our team is a coalition of the Australian and corporate community who share their time and resources to support a cure for childhood cancer.

As a small organisation, volunteers are vital to our success. Without volunteers, much of the work we do would not be possible.

Volunteering is a rewarding and effective way to become more involved at a grass roots level of the organisation. You will also meet new people, create new friendships, learn new skills or share your existing skills.

Join our team as a Volunteer and help us find a cure!

The biggest issue with childhood cancer is people’s awareness of it. You can help by becoming an advocate for childhood cancer. This involves things like contacting schools and businesses in your local area and asking them to get involved in campaigns like Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September each year. Our team can guide you through what to do and what you need to know.
