Organization Information
Mission Statement
The mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is to end the devastating effects of MS.
Description
Founded in 1946, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society supports more MS research, offers more services for people with MS, provides more professional education programs, and furthers more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.
We do this through the extensive research we support to find the cause, cure and improved treatments of the disease; the comprehensive services we provide to people with MS and their families; the professional education programs we offer to assist health care providers better serve their MS patients; and through our advocacy efforts on state and federal levels to encourage public policies supportive of the needs of people with multiple sclerosis. This is why we at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are here.
Volunteers are vital to the work of the National MS Society. We welcome volunteers with a wide range of talents and skills. There is only one requirement: to want to do something about MS NOW. Your valuable skills and fresh perspectives will make the Society a stronger and better organization. There are so many ways to contribute, whether through advocacy, programs, fund-raising or special projects. We can always use your help.

Sending you prayers, I was diagnosed in 2010 and seemed to go down hill quickly. In six years I could no longer work and had real problems with balance and joint pain. Brain fog was really bad sometimes. I took rebif and had a lot of problems and had to quit. I have been on techfadera (not spelled right) for a few years and have several side effects. I felt lost and decided to quit my meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced me to Ayurvedic treatment. I had a total decline of all symptoms including vision problems, numbness and others. Sometimes, i totally forget i ever had MS. Visit Natural Herbs Centre web-site naturalherbscentre. com. I am very pleased with this treatment. I eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly. God bless all MS Warriors

Fairly organized. Directions were not the most accurate. Emailed my point of contact for an email that states I volunteered on April 30, 2022 for x amount of hours and they no longer respond.

It was fun and enjoyable to work, and it was very straightforward. The staff was helpful, and gave instructions easily. I got to participate in something that effects my family and they were very supportive of that.

The organization was friendly, accommodating, and kind to its volunteers. We never felt out of place, and were all occupied with our respective tasks. Some volunteers enjoyed helping out so much that they stayed past their previously registered shifts! All in all a great experience with great people and a fantastic cause.

Nick is very kind to people and passionate about the MS Society community. Guidances, Lemonade, pizzas, and a cool Volunteer T-shirt are provided during the volunteering. The volunteers were helpful and they are great teammates. I had a great experience and learned a lot.

I volunteered for the Bike MS in San Diego event.
The staff was professional and well organized. They clearly knew what they were doing and spent significant time in prepping for the event. Their organization made volunteering effortless and fun.
The ride participants were all grateful for the volunteers.
Overall, this was a fun and easy morning and I would recommend anyone looking to support the MS Pacific chapter do so.

I volunteered on and off at the NMSS Sacramento office for about 2 months. The Sacramento office does an excellent job of encouraging event participants in the region. The work they do with and for patients shows their passion for a world free of MS. I highly recommend volunteering at NMSS for the great experience and the phenomenal staff.

It was a fabulous, well organized event. The people involved were enthusiastic and the absolute joy on the bikers' faces when they crossed the finish line was more than enough to make me come back again this year.

They help people like me with MS. My family is joining this walk "Team Mary's Fairies" They walk because they love me~! I'm supporting this chapter because of them and because in their asking for volunteers it shows me they care about the MS and disabled! This enables everyone to participate knowing they are safe to do so! Thank you San Diego Chapter for your compassion! It relieves my mind to know my family can participate and be safe in knowing someone cares!
