Volunteer Commitment

Comprehensive testing, training, and orientations are provided for each volunteer at our hospital.  As a result,
we ask that each volunteer commit to completing 100 hours of service, preferably within one year.

Please be patient with us…Evening and weekend volunteer shifts are the most popular.  As a result, receiving
an assignment during these highly requested times may take longer. In addition, some of our more popular
programs may have a waiting list.
