Volunteer requirements
With their contagious smiles, comforting presence and huge hearts – our volunteers make Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford feel like home. Due to the nature of our work there are a number of requirements that all Ascension volunteers must meet. You must be at least 18 years of age or older. First you will need to complete a volunteer application and interview. Then you will complete a criminal back ground check, submit personal references, and show proof of vaccines. Next you will participate in a orientation and training session. Uniforms are required any time you are volunteering. These requirements ensure that volunteers are well-prepared and dedicated to supporting the mission of Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford. 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.
