Hope Loves Company, the only nonprofit dedicated to supporting children, teens, and young adults who have or have had a loved one battling ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, is looking for volunteers to join the HLC team! We are a small nonprofit with a staff of three and rely heavily on our wonderful volunteers, advocates, and interns.

There are a few areas where you can help us make a difference in our community:
-Marketing (press releases, social media, SEO, etc.).
-Fundraising (help develop, plan, and execute fundraising efforts).
-Communications and Outreach (public relations, correspondence with our HLC families, supporters/donors, and other organizations, etc.).
-IT Help (website maintenance, problem-solving, etc.)
-Legal/Financial

If you have interests in marketing, communications, IT, graphic design, organization, fundraising, etc. and are looking for a volunteer opportunity in which you can develop and practice these skills, please consider volunteering with Hope Loves Company. Other possible tasks include: grant writing, research, office and organizational tasks, writing and sending Birthday cards to our campers, preparing Hug of Hope care packages, and more. If we haven't mentioned any of your interests/skills here, please reach out and let us know if there are other ways in which you could help volunteer with or support Hope Loves Company.

We will also be hosting events in 2019 where we might need additional support (4th Annual Night of Hope 3/19 and Family Fun Day 4/19).

We'd love to have volunteers in the office but if you aren't local, you can work remotely, too!

Thank you!

Mission Statement

Hope Loves Company is the only nonprofit in the United States dedicated to providing emotional and educational support to children and young adults who have or have had a loved one battling ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's disease.

Description

There are approximately 30,000 people in the United States who live with ALS and it is estimated that of those 30,000, 85% have children.

Hope Loves Company was founded by Jodi O'Donnell-Ames after she realized the lack of resources available to her children, who all lost a parent to ALS before the age of 12. Hope Loves Company supports children and families affected by ALS with free programs and resources, including Camp HLC, Hugs of Hope care packages, Family Fun Days, educational materials and children's books, Teen Retreats, and more. Our premier program, Camp HLC, is a 3-day weekend retreat where children and families enjoy recreational activities such as swimming, canoeing, and fishing, while also learning coping skills and receiving much-needed support. All of our programs are provided to families affected by ALS at no cost.

Since its founding, Jodi and her team have hosted nineteen Camp HLCs across the United States and helped countless children and families. In 2018, HLC delivered 50+ Hugs of Hope care packages to children affected by ALS. The reach of Hope Loves Company is nationwide and we host Camp HLC in NJ, MA, IN, CA, FL, and IL.
