At any given time, we are in active recruitment for specific areas based on the needs of Enloe Health; not all areas of volunteer service are seeking additional volunteers. While specific preferences may be considered, intake priority is given to areas for which we are currently recruiting.

Most volunteers complete the application and initial intake steps in about six weeks. Once that phase of onboarding is complete, the training period begins. The time needed for training is dependent on the service area. The more direct patient contact that you have, the more training hours are required; the less direct patient contact, the less training hours are required. This will be discussed during your interview.

Generally, after training, you should be prepared to commit to a minimum of 50 hours and six months of service. Due to the nature of some service areas, a minimum 18-month commitment is expected. This will be discussed during your interview.
