Junior Volunteers
The Junior Volunteer Program at the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor provides an incredible opportunity for students to work with health care professionals. The program allows students to gain work experience and accumulate their community service hours by assisting staff in many areas. The patients and residents benefit from their interactions with the younger generation, and vice versa.
The Junior Volunteer Program runs yearly from July to September. Junior Volunteers are students in and around the Almonte area who have graduated from Grade 8 or who are currently in high school.
The volunteers will work Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Four different job positions are available weekly for the Junior Volunteers to choose from. Students will be able to participate in areas such as Physiotherapy, Day Hospital, the Medical & Surgical Unit, the Obstetrics Unit, Rosamond Unit, Fairview Manor Recreation, Hairdressing, Administration and Volunteer Services. General training is provided to all our students, as well as specific training for individual roles.
Junior volunteers come away from the program with valuable skills, knowledge and experiences that can be transferred to future endeavors on their journey through life. Students will leave with an appreciation for those in the health care system and a sense of accomplishment. On completion of this program, students receive a letter of reference, certificate and a signature on their school forms verifying they have completed hours of community service.
