We are confident that there is an opportunity to fit the personality and schedule of just about everyone! We offer weekday, weeknight and weekend opportunities that take place on our campus located at 6300 N. Ridge Ave. in Chicago.

If it is a regular weekly commitment that you are looking to make, we have a list of opportunities from which to choose. We update that list regularly as volunteer openings and opportunities become available. In order to create a stable environment for our residents, Misericordia does require each “regular” volunteer to commit to a minimum of two-three hours per week for at least a 6-12 month term.

To become a volunteer, we first require a volunteer application. After submitting an application, you will be invited for an orientation class. This is a mandatory, one-time session that is generally scheduled 2-3 times per month.

Orientation is where you will learn about Misericordia, the campus, the residents, the opportunities available, and the rules and regulations. Importantly, you will also learn how you can make a positive difference for those who live here at Misericordia.

Please be aware, it is possible that placement could take up to 4-5 weeks depending on when your application and references are received. We take several steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents!
