Become a Volunteer.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the American Cancer Society! As a volunteer you can honor a survivor or a loved one lost to cancer, and help save lives of people both in the Capital Region and around the world. It only takes a little time to do a lot of good.

We have different event related volunteer roles from planning committees to night of volunteers, along with many other volunteer opportunities with the American Cancer Society. Contact us today to find out how rewarding volunteering is!

We had to make the tough decision to suspend the # We had to make the tough decision to suspend the #HopeLodge program to patients due to the #covid19 pandemic. But our beds won’t stay empty. We’re offering more than 1,100 rooms from our Hope Lodges across the nation to health care providers – to rest between shifts or overnight, free of charge. This is made possible only because of support from our amazing communities. Thank you ❤️
