Since 1992, thousands of people have offered their time and skills to LGFB. We couldn’t make our program a reality without the big hearts and talents of our volunteer team from coast to coast who deliver our curriculum with empathy and equity, helping to empower and educate those facing cancer.
Submit an application to become a volunteer and use your talent to do something beautiful for those facing cancer.
