WE ARE A VOLUNTEER-DRIVEN ORGANIZATION!
The NODCC operates with part-time staff members and volunteer Board of Directors and committee members. We work with family members, friends and professionals who have a passion for helping fulfill our mission to enhance the quality of life and promote opportunities for individuals with disorders for the corpus callosum.
Here are the ways you can get involved as a volunteer with the NODCC:
Board of Directors: Our Board of Directors make both a time and financial commitment to the NODCC. We have 15-25 Board members with varying professional backgrounds who serve two-year terms. The Board meets twice a year and guides the programs of the organization.
Committee Involvement: The Board of Directors has several committees with opportunities for involvement and support.
