What It Takes to Be a Volunteer

Care Dimensions volunteers are special people. They’re kind, sensitive to others and they’re non-judgmental. They have the ability to listen, are reliable and most importantly, they truly care. Many people would like to be a volunteer, but are not sure what is expected of them, and if they have the right skill set. Because Care Dimensions is a large, multi-faceted organization, we offer varied opportunities and extensive training for volunteers – from direct interaction with patients and families to work in our accounting department. No volunteer is placed in a position that he or she is not trained to do, or is uncomfortable doing.

As a Care Dimensions volunteer, you need to:

• Commit to being a volunteer approximately two hours per week over the course of one year
• Attend volunteer training
• Be dependable
• Be patient
• Know your strengths and your limitations, and when to say no
