American Lung Association of Nevada Charity Profile
The American Lung Association (ALA) is the oldest voluntary health organization in the United States, with a National Office and constituent and affiliate associations around the country. The American Lung Association of Nevada is among the oldest regional offices in the country.
Founded in 1904 to fight tuberculosis, ALA today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control and environmental health. ALA is funded by contributions from the public, along with gifts and grants from corporations, foundations and government agencies. ALA achieves its many successes through the work of thousands of committed volunteers and staff.
American Lung Association of Nevada Volunteer Information
Many opportunities are available to help Nevada breathe a little easier. Volunteer to help keep children from smoking and to help the over 45,000 children who suffer from asthma learn more about their disease. Pick a specific program or volunteer for more than one. No medical background is needed. We will provide training for all programs and special events.
