Volunteer/Participate

The Hydrocephalus Association is constantly on the lookout for volunteers to lend their time, energy and creativity to increase hydrocephalus awareness. If you are interested in any of these volunteer opportunities please either call us (415) 732-7040/toll-free (888)598-3789 or email us.

Create shunt pins

Our pins are made from shunt tubing and come with a small card listing statistics on hydrocephalus. They are easy to make and we will send you the necessary materials and instructions. Wearing our shunt pins is a great way to promote education and awareness of hydrocephalus for legislators, family and friends.

Thank you for your interest in helping to make shunt pins, at this time we have a sufficient number of volunteers. We will post additional opportunities as they become available.
