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 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. Some volunteers work a few hours a week, while others serve a few days a week. 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. Please review the "Immunization" requirements and "General" requirements for the location you are applying for, before submitting your application.
