Individuals must be 16 years of age to become a BWH volunteer. Volunteers are asked to make a commitment of at least six months of service.
Most volunteer positions require weekday, daytime availability, however, we do have a few evening and week-end placements. BWH volunteers assist staff in many departments throughout the hospital, such as, but not limited to Central Transport, Wayfinding, Book Cart, and assisting with non-clinical duties on inpatient floors.
Volunteer applicants are required to:
- Interview with the Volunteer Program and Training Coordinator
- Complete application materials and onboarding documentation/be cleared medically by BWH Occupational Health Services (prior to orientation)
- Submit to a HireRight background check
- Attend New Volunteer Orientation (NVO) prior to beginning volunteer placement in the hospital.
We will discuss a department placement during your interview.
The links below provide information regarding onboarding documentation, the NVO schedule, and how to schedule an interview:
We look forward to you becoming a member of the BWH volunteer team.
