Volunteer Opportunities

The rewards of volunteering are countless—gain new skills, build new friendships, ease the burdens of concerned family members, brighten the day of patients, and bring smiles to children. Lourdes has many activities and services needing volunteers. Lourdes serves hundreds of people each day. All of these individuals, in some way, benefit from the helping hands of volunteers.

Who volunteers?
What type of person is a hospital volunteer? The truth is, there is no one type. At Lourdes, you'll find volunteers from all walks of life—college students, retirees, teens, working people, former employees, individuals with disabilities. All have found volunteer positions that are right for them.

Working together
If you wish to work alongside the Lourdes staff, we will work with you to find the right position and the right schedule. There are some opportunities on evening and weekend shifts, as well as regular day shifts. We'll take into account whether you have a job or other commitments and the amount of time you have available. All volunteers are asked to commit a minimum of four hours of service a week for one year.

Becoming a volunteer
To pursue a volunteer position at Lourdes, you'll be asked to complete an application and meet with the Volunteer Coordinator for an interview. In addition, we'll need your permission to conduct a state law enforcement background check (requirement for anyone who works or volunteers in a hospital). Once you've been approved and assigned your special role, you'll become acquainted with Lourdes thorough an orientation session.
