Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer advocate. The virtual training program is designed to teach advocates how to use their voice to improve pain management for everyone who lives with chronic pain in the United States. The next training will be held virtually via Zoom meetings over a three-week period in November. The training sessions will be held from 2-4pm ET with a 25-minute break half-way through each session. The dates are: November 4, 7, 12, 19, and 21.

To apply, please fill out the form, below no later than October 5, 2024. Please provide short answers to the questions. Applications will be reviewed by the Director of Policy and Advocacy, Cindy Steinberg. Cindy may follow-up with you with any questions, so please provide your current contact information. Accepted applicants must attend every training session and be seen on camera for most of the sessions. The class is free to attend, but attendees are required to do a 10 hour volunteer advocacy project over a four-month period following the training.
