Kansas ACT Volunteers
It Starts by Being an AdvocateAn Advocate is the first step in ACS CAN’s volunteer structure. Being an Advocate enables you to get involved with a minimal time commitment. Sign-up to receive the ACS CAN monthly newsletter and periodic email action alerts. You will be notified when we have an urgent need for you to email or call your Member of Congress or state legislator. These actions typically only take one or two minutes but are an important part of our campaigns. Add your voice to the thousands who are joining together to make fighting cancer a national priority. We also encourage you to visit www.acscan.org/kansas on a regular basis to check out the latest news on some of our most active legislative campaigns.
Ready to devote more time to ACS CAN?Join the Kansas ACT Team. Our Ambassador Constituent Team (ACT) plays a crucial role in establishing relationships with their elected officials. These volunteer-led teams help manage ACS CAN’s grassroots activities at the community level. Ambassadors who choose to become ACT members are asked to help plan and attend media events and meetings with lawmakers’ offices, recruit more volunteers and ACS CAN members, and serve as chairpersons for our initiatives with the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, and other partner organizations.
Even if you have only a few minutes a day or an hour a week, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network will empower you to become an effective advocate for cancer issues. We provide the training, tools, and opportunities you need to ensure your voice is heard by your lawmakers.
