Volunteerism at Sheffield Place is a two step process:
- Please print, complete, and return the attached volunteer application to the Office of Development & Marketing. Because Sheffield Place provides services to children, we are required by law to conduct background checks on all volunteers who come in contact with our clients. Sheffield Place will provide you with the necessary form once we receive your application.
- Attend an orientation meeting specific to your area of interest. A representative of Sheffield Place will confirm your eligibility to volunteer with our organization and contact you about the status of your application.
