Having Cancer is hard. Finding help shouldn't be.
Cancer Resource Center
The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers to volunteer 3-4 hours per week, Monday through Friday, in our Cancer Resource Centers.
A Cancer Resource Center is a space in a cancer treatment facility where American Cancer Society volunteers provide cancer information, materials, and information on American Cancer Society programs and community resources.
Volunteers need to be available to fill at least one shift per week during the hours of 9-4. Volunteers will be trained on American Cancer Society programs and materials in order to help patients and care givers with questions and offer support.
