You have questions. We have your answers here.
We want your volunteer work at Hillcrest to reflect you — your skills, your needs, your experience, your interests. Discover which volunteer positions are a good fit for you by visiting our Volunteer Positions page.
If you explore our volunteer positions but don’t find something that seems right for you, please speak to one of our volunteer coordinators[link] about it. They are constantly seeking new ideas to implement, new positions to add, and new ways to build up our program.
We typically ask our volunteers to choose which days of the week and morning or afternoon time slots work best for them, so that we can build a schedule together.
In becoming a volunteer, an individual must complete an application and background check, meet with a volunteer coordinator, attend volunteer orientation and complete an employee health application.
1. The first part orientation takes about three hours. It includes numerous inforamtional videos and paperwork.
Our volunteers will tell you that being around other Hillcrest volunteers, coordinators, and staff is like being surrounded by family. We work at creating a welcoming and social environment for our volunteers. We have a blast celebrating birthdays and holidays. In fact, we love celebrating so much that every year in the spring we celebrate HealthCare Volunteer Appreciation Week. Outside of those celebrations, our volunteers gather at three general meetings each year for a volunteer banquet arranged by the volunteer coordinator. The culminating event of each year is our annual volunteer awards banquet, where we honor our outstanding volunteers.
