Make an Impact with Your Chapter

Together, we’re saving lives through campaigns like Heart Walk, Go Red for Women and Nation of Lifesavers. Your dedication fuels our mission for a world of longer, healthier lives.

This year, we’re proud to offer two additional ways for Ticktockers to build leadership skills, serve with purpose and grow as changemakers through Heart Club and Teen of Impact.

National Charity League Volunteer Opportunities

Support Your Local Heart Walk

The American Heart Association invites YOU to join the Heart Walk to broaden our impact by turning bystanders into lifesavers.

  • Find your Local Heart Walk to start a team and sign up to volunteer.
  • Invite NCL members to join your chapter’s team.
  • Use the Heart Walk app to spread awareness for CPR to family and friends.
  • Share on social media to amplify the message.
  • Volunteer at the Heart Walk.

Please note, NCL Chapters do not have a fundraising requirement. By simply spreading the word and growing your team, you’re helping empower more people to save lives—and that’s something to be proud of.

Join the Nation of Lifesavers

Every year, over 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of a hospital, with most happening at home. Sadly, only 10% survive. By giving someone CPR you can double or even triple their chances of survival. Be ready when it matters most. Learn CPR and become part of the Nation of Lifesavers™.
