Volunteers play a vital role in the day-to-day operations of Griffin Health. Many of Griffin's essential Planetree Programs and Services would not be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers.

Griffin is currently looking for adults who are are available mornings and afternoons for a minimum of two hours per week. All volunteers must be comfortable with patients, sensitive to their needs, and possess good interpersonal skills. Volunteer opportunities are not available on a seasonal basis.
