Volunteer with MOCA
If you are interested in getting involved with MOCA, sign-up to be a volunteer and help promote the mission and goals of MOCA.
This is a volunteer, part time position of approximately 3 hours per month. The volunteer Facilitator will lead a monthly 1.5 hour meeting of ovarian cancer survivors and spend another 1-1.5 hours, as needed, to communicate with MOCA staff. Currently the St. Paul Support Group meets on every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 2-3:30pm at Macalester College in St. Paul. The Facilitator will be expected to follow appropriate MOCA support group guidelines regarding confidentiality, respect, and engage participation by creating a safe and supportive environment for women to share their stories, lives and talk about their journey with ovarian cancer. For the full job description, please visit www.mncn.org’s job board, or email our Public Education Manager at RLechner@mnovarian.org for additional details.
Help represent MOCA during special events
Interested in representing MOCA at a health fair or conference? This is a great opportunity for ANYONE — you don’t have to be a survivor. MOCA exhibits at awareness events throughout the year in public, educational and cancer-specific settings, spreading awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. If you’re interested in volunteering in 2011, contact our Public Education Manager at RLechner@mnovarian.org or call (612) 822-0500.

Ovarian cancer survivors: You can make a difference
If you would like to volunteer as a public speaker or help with the administration of the medical education programs, contact Kathy McGovern at kmcgovern@mnovarian.org.
Survivors Teaching Medical Students literally puts a face on a disease by having survivors speak to third- and fourth-year medical students about their diagnosis and treatment.
The medical residents’ program pairs a gynecologic oncologist with a survivor to deliver prepared talks to primary care residents. The hereditary cancers program pairs a woman who has had genetic counseling and testing with a panel of others who present information to the public about reducing elevated risks for ovarian cancer for people who inherit BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 gene mutations.
Internship opportunities
