Volunteer

ARC relies on the passion, vision and hard work of our volunteers to help us achieve our mission – A world free of preventable lung disease. Our Board and Committee members volunteer their time and skills. Professionals volunteer to assist in project activities. We need people with a variety of skills and experiences to fill a wide range of volunteer jobs.

By donating your time to ARC:

- You may help carry out tasks such as administration, and help with ‘legwork’ which allows ARC staff to concentrate on their areas of training and expertise.
- You can add to the pool of people available to assist in the running of various programs, which means more people can be helped.
- You can help increase public awareness of ARC, its services and its needs.
- You can help ensure a more cost effective service, making best use of funds available, or help in raising more funds.
