Application Process: 1. Application - Complete and submit application with $100.00 processing fee ($50.00 for Juniors aged 15-17) to Methodist Hospital Volunteer Services, 7500 Hospital Drive Sacramento, CA 95823 or give to the Gift Shop Volunteer at Methodist Hospital Monday - Friday from 9am until 4pm. Applications are available in the Volunteer Office and at the Information Desk in the main lobby of both Methodist Hospital and Bruceville Terrace. 2. Interview - Once the application is turned in to our office, we will contact you via e-mail or phone to set up an interview date. At the time of the interview, we like to discuss your interests, skills, abilities and availability. We will attempt to place you in an area that is comfortable and interesting to you and meets the needs of the hospital. We will invite you to attend an orientation if you have been accepted into the volunteer program. If you are 18+, you will be asked to complete a background check after your health clearance. Junior Volunteers are required to provide a letter of Recommendation from a non-related person who can address your suitability to the volunteer program. 3. Orientation - Orientation provides information about the hospital and the volunteer role. Privacy laws, safety codes, volunteer benefits, volunteer resources, dress code and service agreement are all discussed. Orientation is conducted once a month. During the interview, you will be told of the orientation date. 4. Health Clearance - Once you have completed the interview and the orientation, you must call employee health for an appointment to have your TB test and blood test to see if you have immunity for Rubella, Rubeola, Mumps and Chicken Pox. The lab work and TB test is provided through the hospital’s employee health department. If you need immunizations, you will need to go to your own Doctor at your own expense. 5. Name Badge - After you have completed all the above requirements, we will schedule a day and time to have your badge picture taken and to purchase your uniform ($30.00). 6. Assignments - We try our best to make sure that your interests are met, as well as, the need of Methodist Hospital and Bruceville Terrace. Volunteers are expected to volunteer at least one 3-4 hour shift weekly. If you are unable to make your shift, you need to call your department manager and the volunteer coordinator to let them know. Failure to do this will count as an unexcused absence. 7. Training - Training for individual positions is provided within the department where the volunteer is assigned and given by a staff member or an experienced volunteer. 8. Resigning - In the case that a volunteer wishes to resign, we ask that you submit your resignation in writing and deliver to the volunteer office. We ask that you give us a 2-week notice and on your last day, it is mandatory that you relinquish your ID badge, hospital keys, etc. The uniform does not need to be turned in.
