Volunteer requirements
With their contagious smiles, comforting presence and huge hearts – our volunteers make Ascension Via Christi St. Teresa 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 Via Christi St. Teresa. Please review the "Immunization" requirements and "General" requirements for the location you are applying for, before submitting your application.
