Volunteer Opportunities
At Bridgeway Community Health, we are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for community members who want to support recovery and wellness. Volunteering offers a chance to give back while gaining valuable experience and connection.
About the Program
Volunteers play an important role in supporting Bridgeway’s mission. Individuals freely offer their time, skills, and expertise to contribute to public service, recovery, and wellness. Volunteers are not considered employees and do not receive wages.
Due to the nature of our work and the populations we serve, volunteer opportunities at Bridgeway are limited and may not always be available.
Areas of Service
All volunteers complete basic training prior to placement. Opportunities may include consumer advocate support, program support, and group support.
Group support includes assisting with or facilitating peer led recovery groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Gamblers Anonymous (GA), with prior approval.
What to Expect
Background Check
Due to the nature of our work, all applicants are required to complete a criminal background check. Having a criminal history does not automatically disqualify an applicant. Bridgeway reviews the length of time since and the severity of any convictions when making placement decisions. Bridgeway reserves the right to deny placement based on criminal history.
Interview
Applicants who meet initial requirements will be invited to participate in an interview to ensure a strong match between the individual, the role, and the organization.
Orientation
Volunteers complete an orientation that introduces Bridgeway Community Health’s policies, procedures, expectations, and services. This is facilitated by Human Resources and program leadership.
Training
Volunteers receive department specific training, including an overview of program expectations, policies, procedures, and supervision to support skill development.
