We have two orientation classes: New Volunteer and Patient Care. Both are offered monthly (evenings or Saturdays).
New Volunteer Orientation is three hours and is necessary for all new volunteers.
Patient Care is four hours and only for those who will work one-on-one with patients/siblings.
Additionally, when you are assigned to a specific unit/department, you will receive an area-specific training and tour on your first day. Most areas have volunteer mentors you can shadow before starting on your own.
Zero Harm Safety Training is three hours and required within three months of your start date.
