Description
Volunteers are an integral part of any non-profit and Gabriel House of Care is no exception. We are fortunate to have the best volunteers around and greatly appreciate their time, talent and dedication to improving the lives of others.
Our volunteers are vital members of a dynamic team that works together to provide a "home away from home" for families temporarily staying in Jacksonville while undergoing treatment pertaining to cancer and organ transplant care.
Additional helping hands are needed to manage the "House," support our guests and assist with special projects and fundraising events.
Volunteer opportunities are available seven days a week in convenient time frames to complement the needs of the house, our guests and the schedules of our volunteers.
Required: Completion of a Volunteer Application, interview, House tour, orientation and training.
