Our volunteers come in all sizes, shapes and colors; but their hearts are pink and their caring knows no boundaries. Are you a leader, a thinker, or a doer? Use your talents toward our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever!  We need you now more than ever. Volunteers provide countless hours contributing their skills to further the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® promise. We will work with your availability.  Every minute you spend helping gives another minute of hope to those affected by breast cancer.

One of the core values of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is to value the “power of the individual and the dynamic force of many.” This organization was literally built by volunteers, and while the Komen Northwest Ohio Affiliate has a small staff; the heart, soul and much of the labor of running this organization comes from hundreds of individual volunteers. The grassroots nature of the organization strengthens our roots in the community as we continue to grow and to impact lives throughout our 24 county service area.

Led by more than 100,000 survivors and activists worldwide, Komen is the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer forever. As the face and voice of the global breast cancer movement …

• We are local activists in 124 cities and communities, mobilizing more than one million friends and neighbors every year through events like the Komen Race for the Cure Series – the world’s largest and most successful awareness and fundraising event for breast cancer.
• We are advocates at the local, state and federal level, fighting for the screening and treatment programs that save lives and the research that brings us closer to the cure.
• We are global citizens working with local health groups around the world and through our web site, komen.org, to help millions of women in nearly 200 countries overcome the social, cultural and economic barriers to breast health and treatment.

The Northwest Ohio Affiliate has various volunteer opportunities available for motivated individuals just like you! Email melissa@komennwohio.org or call 419-724-2873 for more information.
