Volunteer to Help People Facing Cancer

As an American Cancer Society volunteer, you help us ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Sign up today to honor a survivor or a loved one lost to cancer, help save the lives of people in your local community, and help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

Urgent Request: Road To Recovery Drivers Needed

Volunteer to help get cancer patients to treatment. For people with cancer who have no way of getting to treatment, our Road To Recovery® program is there to help. We need volunteers to help cancer patients get the treatment they need. Unfortunately, we don't always have enough drivers to help everyone who needs a ride. You can change that.

Thanks to your support, we can do great things

Because of generous people like you, the American Cancer Society is able to fund research that could lead to the next big cancer breakthrough. But we do so much more than research. We help those with cancer by providing free rides to chemo, free places to stay near treatment, and a live 24/7 helpline for answers and support. We’re here to help patients get the treatment they need and make sure we’re there for their families when they need us most.
