Regarding Cancer volunteers have all personally experienced cancer either as a survivor or by caring for a loved one with cancer. After successful completion of volunteer training, a volunteer can serve in our Peer-to-Peer Matching Program. Through this unique service, volunteers are able to provide comfort, support and informational resources to cancer patients and their caregivers.
Regarding Cancer volunteers offer one-on-one emotional support to individuals who are currently experiencing cancer. They have stood where you are now standing, and faced many of the same unknowns. Matches are based on a variety of criteria including cancer site, treatments, age and gender. Support is most often done via telephone although some matches communicate via email while others get together in person.
