Volunteering is more than just giving your time. It’s a chance to change lives, including your own. When you volunteer, you become part of something bigger. You help raise awareness, support vulnerable people, and fight the stigma that still surrounds epilepsy in many communities.
Beyond the impact you make, volunteering also helps you grow. It builds skills, strengthens your confidence, and connects you with others who care. Many volunteers say it gives them a strong sense of purpose — and even improves their mental health.
You can volunteer your expertise, experience or wisdom to help PWEs on the epilepsy forum or the Patient Portal. Or you can help on the ground organizing events, giving out free medication or supporting outreach. Whichever way you choose to volunteer, your contribution matters. One person can make a difference — and that person could be YOU!
At Seizure Support, volunteers aren’t just helping — they are the reason we can touch lives, educate communities, and break the stigma around epilepsy. Volunteers help us go further. Your time and effort can change someone’s future.
By sharing knowledge and challenging myths, volunteers become a voice for those who often go unheard. Epilepsy deserves understanding — and you can help spread it.
Whether you’re a doctor, health worker, student, teacher, politician or just passionate about helping, your skills make a difference. We provide the structure — you bring the heart. Your voice and presence help others feel safe and seen.
Sometimes, just being there for others brings healing. Volunteers offer encouragement, love, and friendship — which matter just as much as medicine.
Remember, volunteers don’t have to have epilepsy or know anyone who has it. You can still be a volunteer whoever you are from wherever you are around the world and have a major impact on the lives of PWE all around the world. You just have to DECIDE to be a part of something bigger than yourself!
