At the 2020 Migraine World Summit, we had over 130,000 participants from over 194 countries listen to 32 world-leading experts. Our World Health Education Foundation (WHEF) On Stage event included a comedian and an Olympian with migraine and a panel of experts in front of a live audience.

We heard in emails, video messages, and social media comments that these events have opened up a world of hope and turned lives around.

This has been made possible only by the goodwill of our world-leading experts and volunteers who generously shared their knowledge, time, and expertise. We owe a big thank you to everyone who was involved.

Now you have the opportunity to help make a difference for people with migraine. On behalf of the Migraine World Summit and WHEF, we are looking for a few capable and generous volunteers to join the team to help provide education and support to our global audience.

These roles are flexible and purpose-driven. You’re also likely to pick up new skills, friends, and ideas for better health. This could also be a great stepping stone if you’re looking to get back into the workforce.
