Volunteer Training for Working with our Clients

6-week training program

Cancer Connection’s 6-week training program is designed for the special people who want to work directly with our clients. The course will help prospective volunteers understand the complexities of sudden diagnosis, decision making in the foreign country of oncology and personal upheaval and loss. Volunteers will learn listening skills, ways to empower clients to regain emotional and physical strength, and resources available to patients and their families along the cancer journey.
