Volunteer Leadership Summit

We invite you to be part of the Volunteer Leadership Summit—a special gathering created exclusively for the dedicated volunteer leaders who power our mission. This summit offers a meaningful space to connect with fellow leaders, share ideas, and explore new ways we can work together to improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s

What to Expect

• Learning & Empowerment: Dive into hands-on workshops that strengthen your fundraising, outreach, and leadership skills—so you can amplify the impact you already make.

• Connection & Community: Meet fellow volunteer leaders from across the country, share ideas, and build relationships that fuel inspiration and collaboration.

• Recognition & Renewal: Celebrate the incredible difference you bring to our mission and leave energized, appreciated, and ready to create even greater change.

We’re finalizing the event agenda! The complete schedule will be shared in the weeks leading up to the summit. Additionally, the main sessions will be recorded and made available after the event.
