Youth Volunteers

 *** COVID-19 UPDATE: At this time, the NBRHC has temporarily suspended all volunteer programs and the on-boarding of new volunteers. ***

We would like to thank Joel Gagne for volunteering to make this video and sharing his creative talents with us.

Are you 16-29 years old and looking to make a difference in your community?

Join our volunteer team at the North Bay Regional Health Centre!

At NBRHC there are two types of volunteer commitments:

• complete at least seven months (80+ hours) of continuous volunteer service, or
• complete at least two months (50+ hours) of continuous volunteer service during the summer

A completed volunteer application must be submitted by April 15 to be considered for summer volunteering.

In addition to youth volunteer placements, we also offer the LEAD program during the summer months.

LEAD Volunteer Program

LEAD is a summer volunteer program for youth aged 16-29 that offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and professional development in the healthcare sector.

This program is designed for youth who are available to volunteer during the summer and are interested in meeting new people, learning new skills and giving their time to make a positive impact at our Health Centre.

This program combines a volunteer placement with learning opportunities geared toward youth who are interested in healthcare.

Volunteers in the LEAD program will:

LEARN valuable skills and gain real-world knowledge of the healthcare sector.
EXPERIENCE hands-on volunteer work in a healthcare setting.
ACCOMPLISH goals to make a positive impact at the Health Centre.
DEVELOP personal strengths and build confidence and connections for the future.

To be eligible for the program, applicants must be:

• between 16-29 years of age
• enrolled in school (secondary or post-secondary)
• available to volunteer on a regular basis during the summer

Volunteers are required to:

• complete at least two months (50+ hours) of continuous volunteer service during the summer
• attend at least two learning opportunities
• write a brief reflection on their volunteer experience

A completed volunteer application must be submitted by April 15 to be considered for the program. Volunteers who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of completion.
