we can do more together than any of us can do alone

The Glut1 Deficiency Foundation relies on volunteers to help us fulfill our mission and better serve our patient community.  We are thrilled that you feel inspired to roll up your sleeves, get involved, and help reach for a brighter future for all our loved ones. There are many ways to serve, and we welcome your ideas and your creativity to help us continue to improve and expand our impact.  The more people we have involved, the more representative and effective we will be.  We have always believed that we can do so much more together than any of us can do alone, and we are thankful for all who want to support the mission.

In an effort to be more effective and organized and to provide protections for our vulnerable patient population, the reputation of our organization, and to incorporate best practices in nonprofit volunteerism, we have created a volunteer management program. Components of the volunteer network program include the following:

• Application
• Orientation and training on policies, procedures, and volunteer code of conduct
• Signed agreement, release of liability, and photo release
• Background screening (if applicable and in order to protect our patient community) 
   *Certain volunteer roles that involve access to data, funds, or direct contact with patients and families will require a background  screening

Please complete the application below to get started.  If you have any questions about the application process or about volunteering, please contact us.
