Opportunities to Volunteer for DMRF Canada
- Support Group Leaders
One of the most impactful ways DMRF Canada provides support is through our Support Group Network. These groups serve as a lifeline and provide opportunities for people with dystonia and their families to connect and thrive in the community. We are looking for new Support Group Leaders to volunteer in the following communities:
Victoria BC (New leader)
Calgary AB (Co-leader / Vice-president)
Fredericton NB (New leader)
Hamilton ON (Co-leader)
Volunteers can take on different roles or tasks within the group. To read more about the Support Group Leader eligibility, role, and responsibilities please click here. If you are not interested in leading a group, but you would still like to volunteer your time, please let us know.
