Volunteer with Generation Lyme

FAQ
Do I need to be in remission to join?
Nope! Some of our Board Members and Hosts are still actively treating!
Will I still be able to receive support as a Gen Lyme Community Member?
Yes! Absolutely. Meet-Up Hosts still attend Meet-Ups whenever they want!
What do I need to do to prepare?
Come to at least two Meet-Ups! Even if you leave your camera off and just listen, we want everyone on our team to have a full picture of what Gen Lyme is about.
Do I need to have previous experience hosting or leading a nonprofit?
Not at all! We provide training. Plus, we know that Lyme can make it hard to get back into the workforce. These volunteer opportunities help bridge those gaps.
How much of a commitment will this be?
Whatever we determine together!
