Volunteer

At RMHC®SCO, we rely on the help of our volunteers to provide a home to everyday moments for families of sick children at our House and Hospital Family Rooms.

Our Volunteers are the Heart of the Work We Do

Each year, hundreds of volunteers support a variety of programs at both our House and Hospital Family Rooms. If you're interested in becoming an RMHC volunteer, please apply!

We offer a variety of positions at both the Ronald McDonald House & Family Rooms in Hamilton as well as the Ronald McDonald Family Room in St. Catharines.

Please Note: Due to fluctuations in our needs for volunteers and the suitability of applicants, we cannot guarantee every applicant will obtain an interview or placement. All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, and require the completion of a Criminal Record & Judicial Matters check.
