Volunteer To Save Lives

Volunteers are an integral part of the JDMM Foundation and enables us to make a difference in the lives of sepsis patients and their families. Our organization could not exist without the time, effort, enthusiasm and expertise that each volunteer commits to giving.

We recognize the valuable roles volunteers play and are committed to providing thorough, hands-on training and ongoing support to every volunteer.

The organization ask that each volunteer commits to eight hours a month and is able work with us for at least six months. If you know in advance that it will be difficult to fulfill this commitment, please consider helping us in other ways – by donating or sponsorship. If you are interested in periodic volunteering, we always need volunteers for special events.

Here’s how you can get involved as a volunteer:

• Awareness raising – One of the Foundation’s main focus is raising awareness. The more people who know about sepsis and what to look out for, the more lives will be saved! We ask our volunteers to reach out into their own personal networks to raise awareness at a community level. We have created some resources to help you to set up events or talks to share your knowledge of sepsis and the charity.
• Events –  We always need volunteer representatives at events. When there is an event local and suitable to you we will be in touch to see if you would be interested in helping. We also keep need help in keeping the JDMM Foundation Facebook Page and Surviving Life After Sepsis Community updated so make sure to check there for opportunities.
• Support groups Another of our key aims is to support those who have suffered as a result of sepsis. As well as providing a help line, we also facilitate support groups across Georgia, and our volunteers play a vital role in making these happen. For more information, help setting up a support group in your area, or assistance with an existing group, please get in touch.
