Become a Volunteer

Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older and are generally needed three times a week; we also have special events throughout the year where volunteers may be needed on weekends and after regular business hours. Bilingual volunteers (English/Spanish or English/Creole) are greatly appreciated.
Volunteers assist numerous departments throughout the cancer center and provide a variety of services including:

• Welcoming and directing patients
• Assisting with event planning and implementation
• Assisting with laboratory research
• Providing general administrative support
• Offering a helping hand to a patient in need

Opportunities are available at Sylvester locations in Miami and Deerfield Beach.
