Volunteers

 

Thank you for taking action to end breast cancer forever.


At the Komen Philadelphia Affiliate we call our volunteers "activists." That's because, whether you're putting stamps on envelopes, handing out t-shirts at the Race, or chairing an event -- every single show of support brings us all another step closer to a world without breast cancer.  Please, consider what role you want to play in our activist family, explore our many opportunities and get started today by:
• contacting our volunteer coordinator, or
• attending one of our monthly volunteer meetings
