Volunteer with SBSF
Join a community that understands Short Bowel Syndrome and intestinal failure from the inside — and help the next family find support sooner.
SBSF is powered by people who care. Our volunteer staff and support group administrators keep education, peer support, and community spaces running for patients and caregivers around the world.
No staff members or group administrators are paid by SBSF. Everyone who serves gives their free time. We thank them for that dedicated service — and we welcome others ready to help.
Roles are unpaid. Placement depends on current needs, experience, and community safety guidelines. Applying does not guarantee a position.
