Virtual Outreach Coordinators

We are looking for a small group of volunteers who are available to participate in message board conversations (providing guidance and pointing to appropriate resources); Facebook and other on-line communities.  

 

Helpline Volunteers

If you have 4-6 hours per month and are willing to speak with other women and provide support and information on hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, please consider signing up as a Helpline Volunteer. A special need exists for Spanish speaking volunteers.

Please note:

• Helpline training is provided.
• Calls will be forwarded to your home or cell and your number is not disclosed to the caller.
• You will need to commit to a specific two hour shift every other week (e.g., Every other Wednesday - 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.). Slots are available at all times.
• We are also looking for Spanish speakers and men who would be interested in volunteering to do occasional call backs as needed.
  

A helpline volunteer's role is to listen, find resources to support the calls and tell their own story (if appropriate). The ideal volunteer is comfortable with their decisions, generally not facing surgery or treatment, and are comfortable in providing all options to callers.
