Advancing Massage Therapy in New Hampshire

Volunteer

We are always glad to have more hands on deck supporting and representing massage therapists in New Hampshire. Volunteer contributions range from short-term commitments — such as checking in guests at educational events, helping run annual elections, or participating in sporting and community events — to longer-term roles in web administration, government relations, regional outreach, and event coordination.

If you have a particular passion or interest, reach out and let us know how you’d like to contribute.
