There isn’t a gift more generous, more compassionate or more appreciated than giving your time.

Ascension St. Vincent's volunteers are highly recognizable with women in their Ascension St. Vincent's purple jackets and the men in purple shirts.

Volunteer requirements

With their contagious smiles, comforting presence and huge hearts – our volunteers make each Ascension St. Vincent's 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 undergo a drug screen along with a two-step TB test. Next you will participate in a four-hour orientation and training session. Volunteers are also required to undergo annual TB testing and complete ongoing education initiatives. To maintain active status, volunteers are expected to commit to a minimum of four hours of service each week for at least six months. Uniforms are required any time you are volunteering. These requirements ensure that volunteers are well-prepared and dedicated to supporting the mission of Ascension St. Vincent's 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.
