The Cancer Alliance Network is a local non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to local cancer patients during their treatment. We have a high school volunteer program called KidsCAN. This program is made up of local high school students who help fundraise for our organization as well as seek donations of money and items to help provide Thanksgiving meals to local cancer families, host a holiday party with gifts, games, food, etc. for local cancer families, help host a family staycation for local cancer families, and many other activities during the school year.   We are looking for one or two students on the path to becoming teachers to help with communication and management of this program. This volunteer opportunity requires a commitment to help throughout the Lee and Collier county school year for 2025-2026. Volunteers will be required to attend regular KidsCAN meetings and help with notes and sending a recap to students, as well as helping organize donation drives and fundraisers along with students, and participating in volunteer opportunities with KidsCAN students. Some meetings will be available virtually, but most of the work will be required in-person. The majority of the in-person time will be at our Bonita Springs office (3384 Woods Edge Circle, Suite 102 Bonita Springs, FL 34134). There are a few instances where the volunteer address will also be Naples, Estero, and Fort Myers.   Times will be scheduled in advance but determined by the date of events. We will work with schedules as much as possible but flexibility and dedication are a must on the part of volunteers. Dates, times, and shifts will vary. The majority of opportunities will be on weekdays with a few on weekends.    If interested, please email Kristie at kristie@canceralliancenetwork.org   Students who complete this event gain skills in Oral/Written Communications, Teamwork/Collaboration, Professionalism/Work Ethic   This aligns with the following Sustainable Development Goals: Good Health and Well-being (3), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (16)
