Volunteer Application

Dear Prospective Volunteer,

Thank you for your interest! Presently, volunteering is suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once volunteers can return, opportunities for new volunteers at BIDMC will be very limited due to the large number of current volunteers who will be resuming their positions, and the long waiting list of already-screening volunteers that we had prior to having to suspend the program. If we have available opportunities that match your availability and interests, we will contact you. If you have any questions, please contact Caroline Moore, Director of Volunteer Services, at cpmoore@bidmc.harvard.edu or (617) 667-3027.

Sincerely,

The Volunteer Services Department
