New Volunteer Applications
Dear Potential Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for CANSA. We’re always excited to welcome new volunteers into the CANSA family!
With the incidence of cancer rising in our country, the demand for our services is far greater than our hardworking staff team can manage. Our volunteers are therefore the backbone and lifeblood of our organisation, carrying out invaluable work in all aspects of our programme.

Please note that due to COVID-19, some of our volunteer opportunities have had to be scaled down or put on hold. This means that we might not be able to place every person who applies to volunteer.
