An Advance Care Directive assists adults to decide for their future wishes about health care, end-of-life, living arrangements, and other personal matters. An ACD can be used to choose substitute decision-makers to make informed decisions on a person’s behalf if they are unable to do so.

The ACD Project Volunteer role aims to provide meaningful opportunities for volunteers to use their knowledge about ACD and support others to understand how to complete the ACD form by offering general information, sharing available resources, and providing support.
