LCN volunteers are the heart of our network. As a 100% volunteer-powered nonprofit, volunteers are essential to carry out our mission and ultimately improve the lives of children born with a laryngeal cleft.

We offer a variety of positions and time requirements to accommodate busy schedules. Click on the Volunteer Opportunities button to see current program openings and visit our FAQs section to learn more. The Volunteer Highlights section is a fun way to celebrate the many ways our team is making a difference. LCN Program Resources is a password-protected page to support active LCN volunteers.
