Volunteer
You can make a difference in the lives of Children’s Cancer Connection families by becoming a volunteer! As a nonprofit, CCC relies on more than 25,000 hours of volunteer time each year to make camps/programs, fundraising events and other special projects happen. CCC has a variety of opportunities to fit all talents.
Volunteer Opportunities
To get started as a CCC volunteer, please view and complete a volunteer application. Acceptance as a volunteer is contingent upon clear results of a criminal background check and agreement to review and abide by the policies outlined in our volunteer handbook. If you are already a confirmed volunteer, login to your account here.
CCC transitioned to a new volunteer portal on November 1st. Existing volunteers should have received an email from the new system, prompting them to create an account on the new portal. Volunteer information, background check status and previously logged volunteer hours were transferred to the new system. Please reach out to [email protected] if you need assistant accessing the new portal.
CCC offers a variety of volunteer opportunities:
- Camp Heart Connection – Overnight, weekend or week-long volunteer opportunities are the foundation of our sleep-away camps! Apply for these opportunities through our camp registration portal. These positions include overnight cabin counselors, the director’s team, medical directors, and leaders-in-training (LITs).
- Child and family-facing program support – Volunteer at our programs that take place at both our office in Johnston and throughout the community! Lead program activities, support kids and families during the program, help with set-up/clean-up…the opportunities are endless. These opportunities span a few hours to a day program. Sign up HERE.
- Fundraising Events – Help our fundraising events fun smoothly! This could include set-up/clean-up, helping with registration or check-in or facilitating a game or station during the event. CCC’s programs can’t happen without CCC and third-party fundraising efforts.
- Keep camps cozy by making fleece tie blankets for campers.
CCC’s has occasional group volunteer opportunities that are ideal for corporate groups looking to give back. This could be anything from supporting program/camp prep at our office to toy/wish list drives conducted among your team or at your company office. CCC will work with you to pick an opportunity that fits your group.
To find out if group volunteering is right for you, please contact CCC’s Volunteer Coordinator.
