Volunteers

Volunteers are at the very core of Candlelighters, and their support allows us to offer many wonderful programs for families affected by childhood cancer

Examples of opportunities include:

• Office help includes tasks such as cutting, printing, laminating, filing, organizing, and the occasional arts and crafts task
• Event setup these volunteers help arrange tables, unload supplies, arrange decor, and more
• In virtual volunteerism, these volunteers pitch in from afar from tasks such as making masks to helping with no-contact deliveries
• Event support these volunteers keep our events running smoothly by doing anything from check-in and registration to managing booths to a variety of specialty skills such as photography and stage management
• Direct services are opportunities to work directly with families and kiddos
• CAMP FIREFLY these volunteers spend a week at Camp Firefly working directly with diagnosed children and their siblings ages 7-17 to give them an amazing week of classic summer camp in a medically safe environment.

Most of the volunteer programming is for adults 18 years and older, although certain events are designed for younger volunteers and family participation. Opportunities are available for groups or organizations. Volunteers will undergo screening and background checks, and training will be offered throughout the year.
