"Been There" Volunteers
A special group comprised of cancer
survivors who are available to provide
emotional and practical support for other
cancer patients. Volunteers are screened and
matched with patients who request to speak
to a survivor. Open to any cancer survivor.
Background checks and special training is
required.
Clinic Volunteers
Through our partnership with Highlands
Oncology Group, we staff their clinics with
volunteer support. Roles are available in
the chemotherapy suites, radiation clinics,
imaging department and other areas. Tasks
involve administrative, patient and clinic
staff support. Volunteers must have daytime
availability and be at least 18 years of
age. Background checks and special training
is required.
Special Event Committees
Hope Cancer Resources has several
special events each year to help spread the
word about what we do and raise funds to
support our programs. Currently we have the
Bill Fleeman Gentleman of Distinction
Fashion show (a formal gala event) and the
Heather Ridley Fleeman Battle for Hope (5K,
10K, family fun walk). We rely heavily on
dedicated volunteers to help us plan and
execute these events. Background checks and
orientation required.
Professional “Pro Bono” Services
We employ professional licensed social
workers and registered nurses to carry out
our programs. We engage volunteers with
these or related professional designations
and related experience who are willing to
donate their time to be a part of our
service delivery teams. Orientation and
background check required, other training to
be determined by volunteer role.
Administrative & Outreach Volunteers
Help us with filing, answering phones,
processing mailings, organizing, data entry,
etc. around the Hope Cancer Resources
office. Volunteers can also represent Hope
Cancer Resources at volunteer or health
fairs, staffing information tables at
special events, and other outreach efforts.
We offer a fun atmosphere and the reward of
supporting our programs in very necessary
ways. Volunteers must have daytime
availability. Background checks and
orientation required.
Episodic or One Time Volunteers
Can you staff a water station at our
race? Help us set up the room for Gentlemen
of Distinction? Do you have a group that
could help us complete special projects such
as large mailings or clean up/repair to our
office or equipment? No long term commitment
required.
Third-Party Fundraising Volunteers
Can you conduct a penny drive at your
school? Are you willing to donate a portion
of your business sales to Hope Cancer
Resources? We are honored by your generosity
and willingness to support cancer patients
in Northwest Arkansas. Please contact us so
we can provide you with more information.
