HonorHealth volunteer opportunities

Thinking about volunteering?

HonorHealth welcomes compassionate, dedicated volunteers from all walks of life. Their diverse ages and experiences enable volunteers to fulfill the many needs and projects that benefit HonorHealth patients, their families, support staff and the community. With so many service opportunities, you’ll be able to match your skills, talents and interests with HonorHealth needs.

Opportunities

These volunteer opportunities are available for adults age 18 and older.

Please note: HonorHealth only participates in court-ordered community service at the Desert Mission Food Bank. Volunteering does not guarantee placement for job/certification requirements. Nor does HonorHealth offer internship, externship or job-shadow programs. A minimum six-month or 100-hour commitment from volunteers is requested, but more is preferred.

Please keep in mind:

• A regular, fixed schedule is required for most volunteer positions
• Volunteers are required to wear a volunteer badge and uniform
• Volunteers are required to sign in and out during their service
• As a part of the commitment to the health and well-being of the workforce and community, HonorHealth no longer hires or rehires individuals who use tobacco. Volunteers who use tobacco products are not accepted

Volunteer application process

1. Select a program: HonorHealth or Desert Mission. Complete the form and submit it.
2. Check your email for an invitation to interview with the campus supervisor at your desired service location. It may take two business days for you to receive an email. If you don’t receive an email, please call the Volunteer Services Department at 480-587-5097 or the campus of your preferred service for assistance.
3. Arrange and complete an interview with the Volunteer Services Department to discuss possible service areas and your availability and interests for volunteer service.
4. Complete the required checklist items. They include the following:

   • Reading and agreeing to the HonorHealth Volunteer Handbook and volunteer policies and procedures.
   • Attending a new volunteer orientation.

Volunteer Services Department will complete a criminal background check (no charge) when all checklist items are completed. If you pass the background check, you’ll be contacted to schedule your service placement, and arrange for you to get your volunteer ID badge, uniform, schedule and training dates. Successfully completing your service area training may take as long as 12 hours or three shifts.
