Becoming a Volunteer
Once you have been accepted into the Volunteer Program by submitting your application, attending an Informational Session, and interviewing with the Volunteer Services Department, you need to complete the following to join our team:
Step 1
Collect current vaccinations from your physician or Health Services office (Immunization Record Form). Do not get additional vaccinations until Employee Health reviews your health records.
If you are currently enrolled in a higher learning college or university, this can be done at your Health Services.
If you are under 18, we ask that you see your physician. Co-payments may apply.
If you are over 18 and not enrolled in a higher learning college or university, our Employee Health Department will make an appointment with you to give you additional vaccinations or titers needed at no cost. Please do not see your own physician due to the cost you will incur.
