Bike MS is the fundraising cycling series of the National MS Society and raises more money than any other cycling event for any other cause. Even though we are unable to meet in-person this year, our Bike MS team is still determined to make an impact. To date, Bike MS cyclists, volunteers, and donors have raised more than $1.3 billion to stop MS in its tracks, restore what's been lost, and end MS forever. By virtually volunteering, you can be a part of this growing movement!

We anticipate having a variety of different needs/projects arise in the coming months. They can include anything from data entry, to making phone calls, to creating videos, to assisting with one of our virtual events!

Thank you for your consideration in volunteering! Together, we are stronger. Together, we will end MS forever.

Best Practices for Volunteers During COVID-19

https://www.houstonresponds.org/c19serve

The following are best practices that volunteers can utilize while engaging and participating in community events during the Coronavirus pandemic.  

Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water or use hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol. 

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, especially when out in public. 

Avoid contact with people who are sick and stay home if you are sick. 

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. 

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue away. 

Stagger your volunteering shifts.

Volunteers most at risk of contracting Covid-19 should not volunteer until further notice.

Provide administrative or support functions for older volunteers who want to be part of the response.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is a national non-profit that exists because there are people with MS. Our vision is a world free of MS. Everything we do is focused so that people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever.

We are more than an organization. We are a movement. United in our collective power to do something about MS now and end this disease forever. At the National MS Society you have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of those living with MS and their families.

As a member of the Society team, you'll work in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, diverse perspectives, and most of all a relentless resolve so people with MS can live their best lives.

The National MS Society is offering an exciting internship within the Volunteer Engagement department. This unpaid internship can provide school credit and offers valuable experience in the non-profit, engagement, relationship management, and event planning industries. Candidates must have excellent customer service skills, be self-motivated, a team player, results-oriented, and dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people living with and affected by MS.

Intern(s) will assist with the execution of all Volunteer Engagement functions. These tasks will include volunteer outreach, recruitment, communications, cultivation, and recognition for the 2021 Texas MS 150 and local Walk MS events. Will also include some administrative, database management, and event production activities.

Interfaith Ministries' Meals on Wheels Program needs your help to provide a cloth, reusable mask to each of our Meals on Wheels seniors. A standard, adult-sized mask, with soft ear loops, is recommended. We will need to have them in small bags, to ease distribution.

Target sells some paper ones that are biodegradable). Feel free to get creative with cute designs, so long as we steer clear of any religious or political messaging. We serve a broad audience, so we recommend keeping it to inclusive and happy things. If you’re unsure, solid colors or striped/paisley/gingham patters are always a safe bet.
