Champion our cause: Join the TSC Alliance volunteer movement!
The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) community is the TSC Alliance’s strongest ally. We rely on our dedicated volunteers to help drive our mission forward and realize a future where everyone with TSC can live their fullest lives. Our volunteer leaders host educational meetings, raise awareness and fundraise, foster local connections and serve as a resource in their communities.
We are seeking highly motivated volunteers to help build and strengthen the TSC community. There are several ways to participate as a volunteer with a position to fit anyone who is interested in being a part of our team. Read through our Leadership Opportunities Summary to learn more about each opportunity and apply for the position you decide is best suited for you.

Recognizing our volunteers
The TSC Alliance thrives on the service of selfless individuals across the country who give of their time, talent, and resources to help us improve quality of life for everyone affected by TSC. Without them, we would not be where we are today. They have propelled our organization to levels once thought impossible — from the original four volunteer mothers who started the organization in 1974 to nearly 2,000 individuals championing our cause each year today!
To celebrate our volunteers, we honor several outstanding leaders every year with three volunteer awards. Click below to learn about each award and how to nominate a deserving volunteer. We’re now accepting nominations through January 9, 2026.
