National Volunteer Week

Thank you for being the heart of our mission.

We celebrate YOU and the hope you bring to the fight against cancer. 

This National Volunteer Week, we are taking a moment to thank each and every one our 1.5 million dedicated volunteers, who are at the very heart of our lifesaving mission. You’re the reason we are moving ever closer to a world without cancer. You bring HOPE to the fight. Thank you!

As an American Cancer Society volunteer, you can honor a survivor or a loved one lost to cancer, help save the lives of people in your local community, and around the world. 

At this time, we are very concerned about COVID-19. The health and safety of our volunteers, patients, and staff always come first. We haven’t stopped answering our 24/7 helpline to give our patients the important information and available resources they need. There is a continued need for volunteers in critical roles, but the rapidly changing conditions may mean some delayed start dates. 

Please help us by signing up to volunteer so when programs resume we are ready and available to assist cancer patients and their families. Because cancer doesn’t stop. So neither will we.
