Volunteer with DSN
Getting involved with DSN is a great way to stay engaged, use your skills and stay focused on something positive!
There are two different ways to get involved with DSN: volunteering or consulting. Both volunteers and consultants share their skills and their time with the organization and are asked to work on average 3-5 hours per working week.
​
Volunteers are patients or caregivers, and there are many ways to get involved as a volunteer, even from your couch! Volunteers work with members of our Facebook Communities and Lifestyle Clubs on a consistent weekly basis. The purpose of Volunteers is to focus on relationship-building, raising awareness, and helping to uphold the community standards of DSN and ensure the safety of all members and the organization is protected at all times.
​
Consultants, on the other hand, are students or professionals in their fields, who may or may not be patients or caregivers. Consultants work primarily with the Education and Awareness Team on a project-by-project basis. The purpose of these consultants is to: curate and create educational content and resources related to understanding dysautonomia in all its various forms; empower each other, as individuals and as a community, to use this education as a means to shift from just surviving to thriving; and to raise awareness of dysautonomia in the medical and local community so that it creates better understanding and acceptance of these rare and rarely known disorders.
​
If you are unsure about getting involved, we encourage you to reach out. We provide all the training and support you need to be successful in either role!
