Thank You for Your Interest in Volunteering with NAMI Hudson County!
Our volunteers are the heart of our work. Many of our volunteers are people living with mental health conditions, family members, or loved ones of individuals affected by mental illness. Your lived experience brings understanding, empathy, and credibility to the support and education we provide in the community.
We are a volunteer-driven organization, and most of our activities, meetings, and trainings take place virtually and/or on weekday evenings, with occasional in-person community events.
