Volunteer with NAMI Mass
Volunteers are the lifeblood of NAMI Massachusetts. They run programs across the state, answer phones at helplines at our state and local offices, and make our events a great success!
Volunteering at our Annual Events
NAMI Mass hosts three signature events annually. Volunteers are needed to make each a success!
- Our Advocacy Day is held every year in April at the State House in Boston. Volunteers are needed to help people register, find their legislators, navigate the venue, and more! Learn more about volunteering at Advocacy Day.
