Description of Duties:

The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is looking for volunteers to join our pediatric support program. BrainWAVE is a support program for families with a child (19 years of age or younger) with a brain tumour, offering the opportunity to connect with other families in a similar situation and to obtain much-needed support, information and education. Volunteers in this role sit on a committee to help plan 2-3 in-person events a year. Aspects of the role include finding suitable events and programs for our brain tumour community and engaging companies or organizations to collaborate with. Members are also encouraged to attend the events planned.  Volunteers should anticipate committing about 5-7 hours a month with more frequent meetings closer to the event. Zoom meetings with the rest of the committee are held approximately once a month.

Time Commitment:

5-7 hours per month with more frequent meetings closer to the event.

Commitment is flexible based on your own schedule.
