Huntington Society Volunteers

The Huntington Society of Canada has more than 50 volunteer Area Representatives and Chapters across the country. These volunteers carry out the work of the Society in their communities and are responsible for raising more than half the annual budget for the Society.

A Chapter is a larger and more formally constituted group of people, consisting of members, committees and an executive. Chapter activities include an annual program of fundraising and public awareness activities as well as providing local families and health professionals with information and supporting local day and outreach programs.

An Area Representative is a person willing to act as a local contact for the Huntington Society in his/her area. Working with other interested people, the Area Representative offers information and support to families and professionals, and undertakes fundraising and public awareness activities.

The Huntington Society is always looking for new volunteers who would be interested in giving their time to help in the fight against HD. Whether you are interested in one project for a short time, or in making a longer-term commitment, or in finding out more generally about volunteering with the Huntington Society, please feel free to contact us at the Society's office at 1-800-998-7398, or by contacting the Area Representative or Chapter nearest you.
