Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take before I can begin volunteering?

Health screening and police check clearance requirements may take up to 6 weeks to complete. Volunteers are able to begin after submitting the required documentation.

Once I submit my application, will I be accepted as a volunteer?

Volunteers are accepted and placed where there are opportunities that fit the availability and interests of the volunteers. At times, there will not be a fit based on availability and skills of the individual. We are not able to guarantee placement.

How often will I be able to volunteer?

Volunteers are placed in specific roles that match the needs of the patients/staff as well as the individual volunteer.
We expect volunteers to commit to one shift per week which range from 2 -4 hours in length.

If I am placed in an area and find that it is not a good match, may I be moved to another area?

Our goal is to place volunteers that support the patients/staff and fulfill the interests of the volunteer. If you find your placement is not meeting your expectations we will attempt to find a more suitable role.
