Providing Answers, Support and Hope in North Carolina
Volunteer Today
You can change the future of Lupus. Volunteers play a vital role in our efforts to accomplish our mission here at the Lupus Foundation of America, NC Chapter. If you want to invest your time and talents in an organization that is helping those affected by Lupus, then we have a place for you! With a very small staff and an enormous amount of work to be done, volunteers are our arms, legs, and voices throughout our community.
Volunteering for the LFA, North Carolina Chapter means you have an opportunity to touch the lives of people with Lupus and fulfill your own. When you volunteer, you can:
- Make a meaningful difference in your community
- Help Lupus patients and their families
- Have flexible options and opportunities that fit your schedule and talents
- Build relationships and networks that last a lifetime
- Learn and grow personally and professionally
- Involve your family, friends, and coworkers
Volunteers are needed to attend Health Fairs and other public outreach events to display foundation information and literature on Lupus and answer questions.
The North Carolina Chapter fundraising events cannot take place without the help of day-of volunteers to make the event happen. Areas of need: site setup, registration, donation counting, first aid, rest stop hosts (walk only), food & beverage, kids area, finish-line cheerleaders (walk only), and site breakdown.
We work with an outstanding group of volunteers who understand the issues that challenge a person with Lupus. These trained volunteers offer support to Lupus patients, friends, and family members throughout the state. If you are interested in starting a group in your area, contact Executive Director, Lakisha McNair at lakisha.mcnair@lupusnc.org.
