Every day, the KGH Foundation relies on volunteers to help ensure our guests have a comfortable stay at JoeAnna’s House. Are you looking to meet new people? Do you enjoy working in a team environment? Are you interested in giving back in a rewarding environment? If so, then volunteering with JoeAnna’s House is the perfect opportunity for you!
Individuals:
When you join the team at JoeAnna’s House you will be there to interact with our Guests who have a loved one staying at Kelowna General Hospital; they could be with us for a day, a week, a month or longer. This is an opportunity for our Volunteers to help us create a home like environment for our Guests who need a home-away-from-home during a very stressful time.
We have morning, mid-day, and late afternoon shifts, available 7-days a week. At this time we are looking for individuals 16+ who are able to commit to a minimum of two 2-hour shifts per month (Flex Position), or for those looking for a more consistent volunteering position, a minimum of one 2-hour-shift per week.
Shift times include:
- Early Morning – 6:30am – 8:30am
- Morning – 9:00am – 11:00am
- Mid-day – 12:30pm – 2:30pm
- Late afternoon – 4:30pm – 6:30pm
Let’s Make Sure the Timing Feels Right
Before you move forward, we ask that our new volunteers are available for the first six months of their shift commitment. This helps us provide meaningful training and create consistency for the families we support.
If you’re planning to be away for an extended period in the next six months, we’d love for you to check back with us when you return. We’ll be here, and we’d be so grateful to connect when the timing works best for you.
Interested in volunteering & learning more?
We’re so grateful for the outpouring of interest in volunteering at JoeAnna’s House. At this time, our volunteer roster is full. Please check back again soon, we’ll reopen applications when space becomes available, or if you’d like to be put on our waitlist, please click the button below and we will reach out to you should a volunteer position become available.
Service Groups, Organizations, Individuals, Companies:
We are looking for service Groups, Organizations, Individuals, and Companies to volunteer to participate in our Share a Meal program, in which they will prepare and serve meals to our Guests from within our kitchen. It helps lessen the stress of having to prepare a meal, but it also helps with some of the costs that they are faced with when they are away from home. A home-cooked meal is a wonderful gift to give someone after a long day at the hospital.
