OCEAN CITY–Susan G. Komen Maryland will offer a Volunteer Training Session on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at the Marriott Courtyard on 15th Street and the Boardwalk in Ocean City.
Komen Maryland relies on trained volunteers to provide free educational programs highlighting breast health, breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. A variety of opportunities are available to assist the organization, from attending health fairs to speaking events and helping with the Ocean City Race for the Cure® to be held on April 13. Komen Maryland welcomes volunteers with a passion for assisting in our efforts to save lives through awareness, early detection and regular screenings.
The training is designed to inform volunteers about healthy lifestyle and breast cancer screening recommendations, basic breast cancer information, programs and services provided by Komen Maryland and the history and mission of Susan G. Komen. Trained volunteers are provided with the materials necessary for them to present a ‘Breast Health Basics’ program to others. Those who have an interest in speaking can receive further training to be part of the Speakers Bureau.
