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!

    #healthequity means everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. However, the Black community has the highest death rate and shortest survival of any racial/ethnic group in the US for most cancers. That’s unacceptable. While early detection saves lives and we help ensure access to cancer care and screenings, thanks to partners like @mandt_bank we can and must do more.
