Volunteer Opportunities
We need YOU to volunteer for ACHA!
ACHA has a total of three paid staffers—much of what we do relies on the hard work and dedication of our volunteers.
Local Group Leader
An ACHA Local Group is comprised of people who are affected by congenital heart defects in some way (self, family member, or friend has congenital heart defect(s)). You can give the ACHA members in your area an opportunity to meet each other and stay in touch. A Local Group Leader hosts local social meetings, organizes educational, advocacy and awareness events, and operates in collaboration with the ACHA national office to facilitate group communication. For more information contact LocalGroups@achaheart.org or call (888) 921-ACHA.
