Get Involved

Non-profit organizations like Soft Bones cannot fulfill their mission and accomplish change without the support of dedicated volunteers. Daily operations are made possible through the efforts of a small staff, and an even larger team of motivated community members who donate their time to help our cause.

Volunteering does not just benefit the nonprofit, but also offers many rewards for individuals including stress relief, mood enhancement and a sense of accomplishment knowing that you’ve improved the lives of those living with HPP through your service. A volunteer position with Soft Bones can also build upon one’s experience and allows for numerous networking opportunities.

Please consider making a difference in the hypophosphatasia community by volunteering with Soft Bones. Opportunities offer a flexible work schedule and tasks can often be performed virtually. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or intern for Soft Bones, please complete a volunteer interest form and submit it to info@softbones.org.
