Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.

Our volunteer process is designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident as you get started. After you complete this application, you’ll receive an email outlining the next steps to becoming a CCF volunteer.

The process includes: completing the application below, a background check, a self-guided online orientation that walks you through key pages of our website, and a Zoom conversation to discuss your interests and learn more about the volunteer program.

Volunteers interested in serving as a CholangioConnect Mentor will complete additional onboarding after completing the general volunteer steps. This includes mentor-specific training materials and a dedicated Zoom onboarding conversation focused on supporting meaningful, one-to-one connections.

At any point in the process, if you have questions or would like to speak with our team, please contact Claire Condrey.
