A knowledge of government relations and a commitment to be non-partisan whenever representing CCS
Strong sense of self-motivation, reliability and able to work independently with minimal supervision
Excellent verbal communication and interpersonal skills

Connecting you with a network of advocacy volunteers across Canada who have a shared passion to take on issues related to cancer
Integration where you are part of a team and learn about the work of CCS and our advocacy priorities
Connecting you in different ways across a national organization operating in communities across Canada
Supporting you in your advocacy efforts to influence the conversation when it comes to cancer
Ongoing training and skills development related to volunteer advocacy (eg telling your story, engaging with governments, presenting)
