Volunteer at Ascension St. John Medical Center
Ascension St. John Auxiliary was formed in 1951. Since then, many dedicated volunteers have given thousands of hours of service to the hospital and its patients.
Ascension St. John Medical Center volunteers donate their time and energy in an effort to make a patient's stay as comfortable as possible. Our volunteers perform duties that lighten the load of our staff, services for patient comfort. Thank you for your interest in volunteering. There isn’t a gift more generous, more compassionate or more appreciated than giving your time.
Volunteer requirements
With their contagious smiles, comforting presence and huge hearts – our volunteers make Ascension St. John Medical Center feel like home. Due to the nature of our work there are a number of requirements that all Ascension volunteers must meet. First you will need to complete a volunteer application and interview. Then you will complete a criminal background check and refence check. You will also need to provide proof of vaccines and get a TB test (at no charge). Next you will participate in a orientation and training session. Uniforms and badge ID are required any time you are volunteering. These requirements ensure that volunteers are well-prepared and dedicated to supporting the mission of Ascension St. John Auxiliary. Please review the "Immunization" requirements and "General" requirements for the location you are applying for, before submitting your application. If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a volunteer application to start the process.

Junior volunteers
The Ascension St. John Auxiliary Junior Volunteer Program provides high school students ages 15-18 who have completed the ninth grade with opportunities to perform community service and explore medical careers, as well as meet other students from the Tulsa area.
- The Junior Volunteer Program application may be used for both the summer and school year programs.
- The summer program fills up quickly. Beginning in January, applications are accepted for the Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday summer sessions. In addition to serving a placement, classes and guest speakers are hosted so students learn about other opportunities first hand from specialty areas. The summer program lasts eight amazing weeks and begins in early June and ends in late July.
- To participate in the school year program, students must commit to a minimum of 50 hours of service. The program provides flexibility by allowing them to choose the day(s) and time(s) to volunteer, including weekends. The program runs September through April.
- Upon receiving an application, we will contact you to schedule an interview. No membership dues are required, but junior volunteers must purchase their own uniforms. Volunteers are required to submit immunization records, have TB tests, and participate in orientation.
The application process includes obtaining two references from teachers or other leaders (please, no family members), interviewing and attending an orientation session. The reference needs to be over the age of 21 and the reference needs to know the applicant for a minimum of one year.

Carpenter Owen Scholarship
Howard Carpenter was a volunteer at Ascension St. John Auxiliary for 22 years and had over 7,000 hours of service. He believed in helping youth and paying it forward, by also donating money to the Ascension St. John Auxiliary for a scholarship.
Each year the Ascension St. John Auxiliary awards a scholarship to a graduating senior who has been accepted to an accredited college or trade school to help defer the expenses of their education. Junior Volunteers must meet service hour requirements but are not required to major in medical professions. The junior volunteer coordinator sends out applications in January to all who qualify, and the applications are due at the end of March. The Ascension St. John Auxiliary invites the winner and a guest to our Auxiliary luncheon in May to receive their award.
