How to Volunteer

Prairie View was founded by a group of volunteers who saw a need and stepped forward to address it. That strong spirit of volunteerism is still present at Prairie View today. Volunteer programs at Prairie View have received national recognition for innovation and service provided. With continued dedication to the Prairie View mission, the volunteer program offers a wide range of positions within our own clinical settings, and in the communities we serve.

Volunteers bring with them an endless variety of talents and interests. In the climate of change faced by health care providers, volunteers are a more valuable resource than ever before. Whether you prefer a short-term project or event, or are able to make an ongoing commitment, Prairie View has a place for you. Volunteers often share their feelings of gratification at receiving as much as they give in their volunteer roles. Whether you have a lot of time to give, or just a little, your efforts make a difference.

How do you volunteer? The first step is to complete a Volunteer Application. This will help Prairie View to determine the area of volunteer activity you would be most comfortable with and that best utilizes your skills.
