Becoming a Volunteer

Are you looking for a unique opportunity to serve others, and at the same time learn new skills and make new friends?

According to many of our volunteers, the most significant benefit they receive from volunteering is a genuine sense of satisfaction from helping others. Our volunteers come from every walk of life and they appreciate the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends.

Teenagers and college students have a unique learning opportunity through the Junior Partner program (ages 14-18) and our Medic Aide (college) program. The work our volunteers perform at Wooster Community Hospital is important, and the friendships they make are long-lasting.

Our most popular positions are working at the information desk, gift shop, messenger (delivering internal mail), and escort (running errands). Other volunteers assist patients by filling water pitchers, delivering comfort items, acting as a friendly visitor, and helping with clerical work on the nursing units and wherever needed.

As a WCH volunteer, you’ll receive:

  • The satisfaction of making a difference in people’s lives
  • Free meal for each volunteer day of four hours or more
  • Flu shot annually
  • Annual recognition and awards event
