The Volunteer Experience
The first step to becoming an individual volunteer is to submit an application. Once your application is submitted, the Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch to schedule an interview. Please note there are a few requirements before you join our volunteer team:
- Complete all onboarding steps: Submit an application, attend an interview, attend an orientation session, and shadow a current volunteer to learn the responsibilities of your role.
- All individual volunteers must commit to a minimum of two set shifts each month for at least six months. (Special Interest Volunteers and Summer Camp Volunteers exempt.)
- Show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, for the safety of all guest families, volunteers, and staff members.
“I like knowing I have helped make a family’s visit less stressful by volunteering. I enjoy the teamwork with staff and volunteers that helps the daily life of families at the house.”
— Anne Stewart, long time volunteer
“The most enjoyable moment is seeing families receiving the help and support they need while taking care of their loved children at the hospital.”
— Selina Mak, long time volunteer
