Make your mark against Multiple Sclerosis

Are you living with MS in Kansas, Nebraska, or Missouri?

Self-help groups in the National MS Society bring people together who share a common life experience (living with MS) for support, education, and mutual aid. Within the Society, self-help groups are considered those groups that are peer-led, with members being people who share the similar experience of being affected by MS.

If you’ve been looking to get involved but aren’t sure how to get connected in your community, consider leading a peer support group. Self-help group leaders and co-leaders, with the assistance and participation of group members, serve as a resource for the chapter and provide a community presence for the Society.

If you want to volunteer and have the following characteristics, we strongly encourage you to consider becoming a self-help group leader.

  • Personal relationship with MS
  • Personable, empathetic and welcoming personality
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision from staff

If you’re reading this and thinking, "That’s me!" then please reach out to Leanne.Mersmann@nmss.org today to learn more about a life-changing opportunity. We look forward to speaking with you!

Description

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research, offers more services to people with MS, provides more professional education programs and advances more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.

The Mid America Chapter serves 159 counties in Kansas and Missouri.

Seeking out and engaging volunteers to the MS cause is at the very core of our business. Each year the Society organizes a series of community events that provide many opportunities for the enthusiastic volunteer. The Society offers two key fundraising activities: Bike MS, and Walk MS Walk. The Society also engages volunteers to help influence law-makers at the federal, state and municipal levels toward legislation important to people with MS. The Society is looking for passionate volunteers with expertise in areas such as: marketing communications, public relations, corporate and donor development, medical, legal, administrative and organizational expertise.
