Requirements and Application Process

Please review the following requirements of our Medical Center-Chapel Hill Adult Volunteer registration process. All volunteers who are non-undergraduates (i.e. community members, graduate students) should apply as Adult Volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering at Chatham Hospital or WakeBrook behavioral health facility, please submit your application through this program.

1. Please complete our online application. Check out the Opportunities List prior to filling out the Service Areas Preferred in the application.  *At this time, there are no Cuddler positions available.

2. Once your application has been submitted, you will need to complete our online compliance, orientation modules and background screening($15). 

3. Complete the immunization requirements.  Volunteers are responsible for obtaining any required immunizations. This Checklist lists all of the vaccines that are required to volunteer. Alternatively, you may have your medical provider complete the Physician Verification Form as proof of vaccination. UNC Medical Center requires that all volunteers receive the COVID-19 vaccine and wait 2 weeks after their final dose prior to volunteering.
4. Turn in all required paperwork and discuss volunteer placement with your volunteer coordinator.

*Please note- we ask all new volunteers to begin volunteering within 30 days of attending orientation. If you cannot begin within 30 days please apply at a later time.
