MOCA MINNESOTA OVARIAN CANCER ALLIANCE

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.

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, 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
