As a nonprofit health care provider, Vail Health treasures our volunteers and their commitment to community service. The individuals who choose to give their time and talents to Vail Health are key to our success. Whether it is providing companionship, greeting our patients and their families or staffing our gift shop, we have a variety of ways for adults and students over the age of 15 to get involved. Please note that, due to the specific requirements of the programs we offer, we are unable to place every applicant.
Thank you for your interest in applying as a volunteer for the Volunteer Corps of Vail Health, one of the most recognized and rewarding volunteer opportunities in the Valley. While we look forward to connecting with you, the Corps is currently collaborating with Vail Health on upgrading the volunteer experience in a way that best serves our patients, staff and the volunteers. As we work on enhancements to the Corps, we plan to continue the application process in July. We are eager to meet with you and are so pleased that you have chosen to connect with us.
