Volunteer Month – 2025 Celebrate Service Held in April every year, National Volunteer Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions of volunteers. This month is an opportunity for SSEEO to join other non-profits in recognizing the impact of volunteerism. Each volunteer has played a significant role in growing SSEEO and has volunteered countless hours to support our mission to provide advocacy, support, education, and resources to stroke survivors and their families. How YOU can help… 1. Volunteer and be trained as a member of the Stroke Survivor 2 Survivor (SS2S) telephone support program and help others through their stroke journey. SS2S is a telephone-based peer support program for stroke survivors and their caregivers. Support calls are made by stroke survivor and stroke caregiver volunteers with special training and are overseen by a local hospital on-site coordinator.

These volunteer opportunities are a great way to share stroke education information, conduct preventive screenings to raise awareness of stroke risks and promote SSEEO resources. 3. Be an expert speaker, sharing your expertise or stroke story. There is enormous power in sharing your stroke story, you build connection and there is an excellent chance someone else will see themselves in the story and feel more comfortable sharing theirs, allowing them to start on their own journey. 4. Fundraise and host a third-party event or DONATE HERE! Peer-to-peer fundraising and using existing networks gives new donors a friendly face to identify with SSEEO. Click HERE to learn more! 5.
