Organization Policies
Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer in a specialized role with us at Siloam Mission!
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, we have asked all volunteers to remain at home for the foreseeable future and all volunteer shifts are closed with the exception of Primary Health Care Volunteers. We are currently looking for medical professionals (primary care workers) to assist in our Saul Sair Health Centre. We will be in contact with other specialized applicants once it is safe to do so.
After completing the Volunteer application form, you will be required to complete the Volunteer Orientation part 1 and 2. After completing the application form, you will receive email links to 3 eLearning modules. Once these are completed you will be able to sign up for Part 2 of the Volunteer Orientation which is a one hour session including a facilities tour, a review of available volunteer opportunities and training on how to volunteer at Siloam Mission.
