BrainWAVE Parent or Caregiver Volunteer

Parent or Caregiver Role Overview:
Your voice can make a difference. If you are a parent or caregiver of a child (19 years of age or younger) who is currently facing, or has previously faced, a brain tumour diagnosis, your experiences and insights are essential to shaping programs that truly support families. As a Brainwave Committee member, you’ll help ensure that decisions are informed, impactful, and connected to the real needs of our community. We value diverse perspectives and invite individuals from all backgrounds to participate. To help ensure you’re ready for this commitment, we recommend that volunteers be at least one year beyond their child’s active treatment, allowing time to focus on personal well-being before getting involved.
Qualifications:
• Currently or were previously the parent or caregiver to a child (19 years of age or younger) with a brain tumour.
• Vulnerable Sector Police Check Required.

Time Commitment:
• 5-7 hours per month with more frequent meetings closer to the event.
• Commitment is flexible based on your own schedule.
• All BrainWAVE volunteer roles are designed as two-year terms, with the opportunity to renew for one additional term.
