We are looking for professionals or graduate students interested in joining the Rhode Island Board for the Huntington's Disease Society of America. They meet 4 evenings per year in Providence and ask members to also spend 2 hours per week on average to help grow their walk-a-thon or Strike Out HD bowling event or help with local advocacy.
We will train you about the disease and our organization and on fundraising. It is a wonderful chance to network and add to your resume and learn skills and help the many families in Rhode Island that rely on our organization for support, services, and funding towards a cure.
Our organization has an A Plus charity rating and we are the only nonprofit providing both care and funding research towards a cure.

"This Land is Your Land"...
In 1967, the dynamic and determined Marjorie Guthrie launched an all-out assault on the disease that would soon claim her husband, music legend Woody Guthrie, and threatened their three children. Her extraordinary efforts turned her into a global voice in the fight against Huntington’s disease.
With over 50+ Volunteer led Chapter & Affiliates, volunteers are supporting families impacted by HD locally and across the nation!
Every year at our National Convention, these volunteers come together to learn about HD science and the movement they are making! We would love to welcome new faces and ideas.
