Volunteer
Get involved the hands-on way
We are very grateful for your interest in helping out! As a small nonprofit, there is always room for an extra set of hands. Like everything else here at PK, opportunities to volunteer are often created by the volunteers themselves. If you have a skill, hobby, or talent that you are interested in donating, we strongly encourage you to contact us and let us know.
Here are some of the opportunities that we can always use help with:
Program Volunteer
Our Camp Koru programs run with a lean and carefully selected staff to allow for the best participant experience. Volunteer needs at camps include medical staff (mid-level cred or higher, preferably with oncology experience), culinary (chefs and assistants), and wellness guides (licensed social worker or counselor).
General Administrative Volunteer
Admin volunteers can do everything from input data to compile and organize content to send out thank-you notes and help organize events. We are always in need of admin volunteers on an ongoing basis -- they are the foundation of our organization! If you are reliable and have a steady (even small!) number of hours each week you can give, please consider applying to help.
Board Member
We welcome advisors and leaders in such areas as business, marketing, finance, medical, and programs to help us develop, strengthen, and sustain our organization while carrying out our mission. If you are interested in becoming an advisor or board member to Project Koru, please fill out this form and send an introductory email to beth@projectkoru.org
Apply to Intern With Us
We often have openings for committed, energetic, and motivated third or fourth-year undergraduate students for our Program Assistant Internship.
Prospective interns should be interested in community outreach and health promotion, be self-directed, thorough, and possess outstanding communication skills. Interns will work under the supervision of our Program and Outreach Director and may have direct contact with young adult cancer survivors, donors, and/or the community at large.
Interns will have a meaningful opportunity to participate in a project that will enhance their professional development while exposing them to an issue of critical importance in the field of cancer survivorship. Through this exposure and training, they will gain a working knowledge of the unique emotional, physical, and social needs of young adults (diagnosed between 18-39) cancer survivors and non-profit program management. Please contact beth@projectkoru.org for application instructions, and/or additional information.
