Volunteers interact with patients and families in a variety of ways. Some of our opportunities include:

Play date: Entertain children in the hospital by playing games, playing with toys, reading books or just being a friendly face. Therapy dog teams: Bring your certified therapy dog to visit Gillette patients and make them smile. Various shifts are available. Dogs must be currently certified through Pet Partners.
