Description of Duties:

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.
