Opportunities From: Connect2Community

This program is a partnership with St. Joseph Mercy Cancer Care Center in Ann Arbor and the American Cancer Society. Volunteers will spend time in the cancer center talking with patients and families spreading the word about services offered by CSC and other support available through the health system. Volunteers will be trained and will be able to answer questions and provide tours of the Cancer Center.

Facility Greeters help create an inclusive home away from home atmosphere with a friendly smile and warm welcome to all arriving at the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor. Greeters answer phones, give tours of the facility and help staff manage projects as needed. Committment ranges from once a month to once a week depending on interest and availability.

Six times a year we publish and distribute our program calendar so that people affected by cancer and the medical community are updated on our activities. 

Ambassadors are our calendar delivery volunteers who help distribute calendars to medical facilities, clinics, and community agencies in our area along with restocking marketing materials such as brochures and calendars. They check the quantity provided as well as discard any outdated materials to assure timely information of CSC services.

In addition, Ambassadors focus on developing and maintaining relationships with professionals for increased awareness of, and referrals to CSC. Individuals must be able to articulate and champion the mission of CSC, answer questions and enjoy getting out in the community and meeting people. Training provided.

Throughout the year, The Cancer Support Community sets up information booths at various health fairs and community educational events. Volunteers set up the booth, pass out literature, and talk about services. These volunteers are placed on a list and called as needed.
