Team Michelle runs entirely on the energy and heart of our volunteers. Whether you have a few hours or a few weekends, there's a place for you on this team.
Event Volunteering
Join us at our signature events — from the Taste for the Cure Gala to the UCI Anti-Cancer Challenge. Volunteers help with setup, registration, guest experience, and more. No experience needed — just a big heart and a willingness to show up.
Opportunity
Care Package Drives
Set up a collection point at your location where employees or community members can donate blankets, teas, self-care products, and handwritten notes.
Opportunity
Event Ambassador
Help spread the word about Team Michelle events in your community — share on social media, post flyers, and bring friends to our sell-out events.
Opportunity
Marketing Intern
We're accepting applications for a marketing intern to help grow our digital presence, social media, and community outreach. Download the opportunity PDF to learn more.
Care Package Assembly
Host a care package packing event at your home, office, or community space. Your team assembles comfort packages filled with blankets, teas, Thrive Causemetics products, and notes of encouragement — then we ship them free to patients nationwide.
