Volunteer at Sisters of Charity Hospital

Sisters of Charity Hospital has great respect for our volunteers, and considers them part of the team. That is why volunteers from ages 15-90+ and from every local community choose to contribute positively to the day to day life at our ministry.

Why Volunteer?

For many people, volunteering gives them personal satisfaction to know they are doing kind acts for others. For others, it is a chance to put past experience and skills to work for a charitable cause. For others still,  it is an opportunity to learn and participate in the activites of a hospital environment, helping them to acheive future career or academic goals.

Whatever your reason is for volunteering, we want to hear from you. Please take the time to review the volunteer program that is right for you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Adult Volunteer Opportunities (Age 18 and Up)

Volunteer opportunities are available in many departments. Click here to view our current opportunities.

Adult volunteers are asked to committ to at least one 3 hour shift per week for a total of 50 hours. Applications for community service and college requirements under 50 hours will not be accepted. 

Once you have decided which service opportunity best fits your needs, please complete our application.

Volun-TEEN Program (Ages 15-18)

Teenage volunteers have been a very important part of the volunteer team at Sisters Hospital. In the last few years, we have been blessed to have a growing number of teenagers want to give their time and talent to our ministry.

Due to the growing number of enthusiastic applicants, we have developed a new program for teen volunteers called “Volun-TEEN.” This volunteer program specially designed for teenagers will create a better opportunity for our younger volunteers to provide a service to the hospital in a fun and learning atmosphere.

Who is Eligible?

The Volun-TEEN program is designed for high school students age 15-18.

Applicants must be willing to dedicate a minimum of one 3 hour volunteer shift per week.

All accepted applicants will be required to complete the medical requirements that will be reviewed at your interview and attend a three hour General Orientation program prior to beginning service.

Applicants must apply by the deadline for the desired session. Applications received after the session application deadline will not be reviewed. Due to the volume of applications those required to complete less than 50 hours of community service will only be considered during the summer help session.
