How to Apply

Step 1

Step 2

  • Volunteer Services will send the Volunteer Reference Form to your two references. References are not accepted directly from the applicant.

Step 3

  • Once the two references have been received, your application will be reviewed to determine where your skills, interests, and availability may be best suited. 
  • Please note that most of our shifts are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., so limited availability during these times impacts our ability to place you.

Step 4

  • Once your application is reviewed, you may be contacted to discuss the opportunity to arrange a personal interview with a Volunteer Resource Associate.

Important to Note

  • We keep applications on file for six months, so please contact Volunteer Services with any updates to your application such as reference, availability, or address change.
