Solicitud
Solicitud
Nuestro proceso de solicitud está actualmente en espera mientras determinamos nuestro cronograma para la programación de primavera. Vuelva a consultar esta página para conocer las actualizaciones sobre la aceptación de nuevos voluntarios en el programa de voluntariado del Boston Medical Center.
Una vez que se hayan recibido su solicitud y referencias, espere dos semanas para que se revise la solicitud. Tenga en cuenta que recibimos más solicitudes que puestos disponibles y, por lo tanto, no podemos garantizar la colocación para todos los que soliciten.
Entrevista
- Los solicitantes seleccionados serán notificados de los horarios para una entrevista telefónica. Las entrevistas telefónicas suelen durar unos 20 minutos para confirmar la información de su solicitud y averiguar un poco más sobre usted y su interés en ser voluntario.
- Luego, se puede traer a los solicitantes para una entrevista en persona con un miembro del equipo de Servicios Voluntarios para determinar la ubicación en un rol voluntario.
Inducción
- Después de confirmar la ubicación en un puesto, los voluntarios deberán hacer una cita con la Clínica Working Well / Salud Ocupacional, donde presentarán una copia impresa de sus vacunas. Luego notificarán a Servicios Voluntarios para programar una orientación.
- Después de recibir la autorización de la Clínica Working Well, el voluntario asistirá a una orientación para voluntarios con Servicios Voluntarios.
- Luego, los voluntarios podrán obtener su credencial de identificación y establecer una fecha de inicio.

We strongly encourage you to monitor this site for updates on when the application portal will be reopened for new volunteer applicants.
Thank you once again for considering volunteer support for the Boston Medical Center.
Introduction to the Volunteer Experience
As an introduction to the volunteer experience, all new BMC volunteers are required to serve initially in either the BMC Ambassador or Entertainment Cart roles.
These roles provide orientation to the BMC campus and its clients, patients, family/visitors, and staff.
Serving as a BMC Ambassador helps a new volunteer learn about the patient experience (nervousness, confusion, anxiety, language barriers, or emotional distress) as well as learning to calm, listen to, assist, provide information to, and walk with patients as they access the medical center.
For other roles, the hospital dictates the volunteer need, and Volunteer Services responds to fill those roles. Volunteers may request to be assigned to specific opportunities in specialized volunteer roles on specific floors and units as these become available—Volunteer Services will assist with this placement.
Medical Clearance
Medical clearance is required for all BMCHS employees and volunteers.
