Steps to Become a CKF Volunteer
1. Choose Team(s)
Choose one, or more, of the CKF teams you want to volunteer for. Make sure you read over the description of what each team role is so you choose the team(s) best fit for you!
2. Sign up
Complete the specific registration form for the team you would like to sign up for.
3. Receive Your First Assignment From Your Team Leader
Once your volunteer registration has been received and processed, our team will send a welcome message informing you how to join the correct group within 1 week. You will then begin receiving assignments that are redeemable for service hours. Familiarize yourself with your team leader(s) because they will help and lead you through everything!
4. Submit Hours for Approval
After finishing your volunteer work, submit everything as instructed. Then, request your service hours as noted to be approved by your team head!
Arts:
Our Arts team makes the cards (handmade and E-cards) and crafts we send out to cancer hospitals.
The volunteers on this team do not have to have previous art experience, but should be willing to put in their best efforts into designing cards/crafts for patients. We filter all artwork and reserve the right to select certain artwork to deliver to patients in order to maintain quality of services.

Events:
Our Events team members bring their personality and creativity to make patients smile. Members may be asked to design holiday-themed care packages, film inspirational videos for patients, participate in game nights, or run in virtual 5K's. However, most enticing, these volunteers get to interact with patients over personalized Zoom events filled with conversation and games! Note: our events and fundraising team is combined, so fundraising service opportunities are also sent to this team.
The volunteers on this team should be communicative and collaborative, while passionate about making a change in the lives of patients.

Fundraising:
Our Fundraising team is combined with our Events team and is key in raising money for Cancer Kids First. This team participates in corporate fundraisers to sell items, power hours to outreach for donations, and more.
The volunteers on this team should know how to utilize their connections in order to escalate CKF's donations.
