Types of Volunteer Opportunities

We can’t do this without you. Volunteer today!

The success of Challenge Walk MS is directly related to the wonderful volunteers who help make the event go off without a hitch. We welcome volunteers with a wide range of talents and skills. There is only one requirement: a commitment to helping end MS! There are many jobs to choose from including registration and cheering at the finish line.

There are many ways to help and we hope that you will join us. For more information, contact the Wisconsin Chapter at info.wisMS@nmss.org.
