Volunteers are an essential highly-valued part of the Gilda’s Club community and program. We could not function without their energy, skills, and enthusiasm. There are many ways to help whether you are manning the phones, leading a class, working a fundraiser or just chatting with a member, it’s people like you that help create the magic that is Gilda’s Club.
The first step is to fill out a Volunteer Application Form and sign up for a volunteer training session. In that session you will learn about our history, philosophy and programs, and take a tour of the clubhouse. We will then schedule an individual meeting with you to discuss your availability and how to best utilize your skills. For more information, contact Adria Light, Program Manager and Volunteer Coordinator, at (609) 926-2699.
