How to become a volunteer in Danish Cancer Society?
●
”The first thing you need to do is seek a volunteer job. You will find
an overview of current and available jobs in the menu. Here you
can search for the type of activity or jobs near you.
●
Once you have been looking for a volunteer job, you will be called
to a consultant or counselor in your area, where you will assess
whether you are right at work and if the job is right for you.
●
Next, you must create a profile here at frivillig.dk. Frivillig.dk is the
Cancer Fighting Volunteer Portal, and here you will find everything
you need for your volunteer work.”

”As a patient support volunteer you are in contact
with people who are affected by cancer. You help
cancer-affected in your local area by, for example,
networking, presence, support or activities.”
