Get Involved! 
There are many ways kids and teens are getting involved with the MS Society and helping to end MS.

If you're in elementary or junior high, your school might be participating in the MS Read-A-Thon program. This is a great way to raise money, earn great rewards and learn more about MS—just by reading! 

Other youth are participating on teams in the Enerflex MS Walk and the RONA MS Bike Tour .

Visit our fundraising page to find out how you can get involved!

Want to help out? Hundreds of volunteers are needed to run all of our events. If you and some of your friends are interesting in volunteering and having a great time in the process, check our page out!
