Past UPMC volunteers, or current volunteers who want to change locations, do not need to reapply. Find details below under "current and past UPMC volunteers."
New volunteers
If you want to donate your time and talent as a new volunteer at UPMC, complete the new volunteer application form.
- When you apply online, be sure to select a location where you wish to volunteer.
- Please provide two personal or professional references that aren't family members or students. Download the reference form for UPMC's volunteer program (PDF).
- Once the volunteer office reviews and accepts your application, we'll invite you to an orientation.
At new volunteer orientation, we'll:
- Discuss references and hospital policies.
- Provide details on our volunteer requirements (you don't need to fulfill these before orientation):
- Criminal background checks for adults (the type dependent on assignment)
- TB testing
- Flu shots (during flu season)
- Give you an orientation test to make sure you understand UPMC's policies on:
- Privacy
- Infection control
- Human resources
- Safety
- Service excellence
Current and past UPMC volunteers
If you volunteered at UPMC within the last two years or volunteer now, you don't need to reapply.
If you want to volunteer at a different hospital, contact Volunteer Services at the new location and ask if they need volunteers.
If your new location is accepting volunteers, we can:
- Add your new location to your existing UPMC volunteer profile. This keeps all your recorded volunteer service hours from all locations in one file.
- Waive some of the hospital's volunteer requirements.
