Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Join us to plan The Heart Connection Children's Cancer Programs' 2nd Annual Survivorship Connection Conference in March 2010! We have 4 up and running committees actively working on plans for next year's conference. Depending on your specific interest and time commitment we've got a volunteer opportunity for you! If you like planning and details, contact us about joining a committee. If you have just a couple hours between now and March and would like to hang up fliers to promote the conference that would be great too!

A little bit about the conference...
The Survivorship Connection is a program of The Heart Connection Children’s Cancer Programs and serves young adult survivors of pediatric and young adult cancers. The conference will address a variety of survivorship issues including: employment, insurance, nutrition/fitness, fertility, intimacy, after-effects, emotional care, and available resources. In addition there will be a Health and Wellness Expo with resources from all over the community. The conference is intended for young adult survivors (age 18-40) as well as their loved ones, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in learning more about survivorship!

So, whether you're interested in helping plan or would like to attend the conference just let us know and we'll find the right place for you!
