Volunteer Department
The St. Joseph Hospital Volunteer Department assists in placing volunteers throughout the hospital in various capacities. Volunteers donate countless hours of service delivering mail and flowers, performing clerical duties and staffing the Front Desk area.
Volunteers of all ages and experience levels are welcome to consider joining in the service to our community. The Volunteer Department will work to match your unique skills to the needs within the hospital. Currently, we have a particular need for volunteers to fill positions at the Hospital's Front Desk and in the Central Registration department.
Steps to becoming a volunteer include:
- Completing a volunteer application
- Participating in an interview
- Completing orientation
- Completing immunization screenings
If you are an adult interested in volunteering, you can apply online to start the process. Or you can contact the Volunteer department at (207) 907-1794 to have an application sent to you.
If you are under 18 years of age and interested in volunteering, please know that junior volunteer opportunities are only available during the summer months. Please contact the Volunteer department at (207) 907-1794 for more information on becoming a part of the junior volunteer program.
