Volunteers are often called the heart of MD Anderson and an important component in the quest to make cancer history. A volunteer’s role is to provide comfort, care and support to patients and their caregivers by assisting faculty and staff in meeting those needs.

MD Anderson Volunteer Services staff manage more than 1,000 volunteers working in volunteer-based programs. In fact, there are more than 100 types of positions for volunteers.

Our volunteers are:

• Compassionate, motivated, committed and trained
• Good communicators with a desire to help patients and caregivers
• Diverse in age, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background
• Adults and college students available day, evening or weekends
• Some have had a personal or family experience with cancer
