Step 1: Training Session

 

In order to become a Project Kindness Volunteer and visit patients at Weiler Hospital, you must attend a training session or have watched the training video. The training session is led by the Project Kindness student run executive board during the beginning of the school year. Our training provides an overview of Project Kindness and the program expectations.

After you attend the training session or have watched the training video, you must fill out the volunteer profile. You will then be added to our system to become an active volunteer.

 

 

 

Step 3: Sign up to volunteer

 

Through this system, you log in and set up your own schedule. Choose whatever times are available for you here.

 

*There are no set amount of hours you must commit to volunteering.

 

 

The time slots will be set as hourly slots to select, but the time will range from 15 – 20 minutes per patient depending on the circumstances.  Use your judgment to know when it's best to end the conversation. Depending on your schedule you can visit two to three patients during your time at the hospital. You can visit the hospital from 12pm – 9pm and choose the time which is most convenient for you.

 

You can pick up some helpful materials from the Project Kindness cabinet. Inside the cabinet, you will find

​

• Project Kindness notebooks and pens

• Project Kindness Lanyards

• An introduction card about the program for the patient

• Tip sheets on how to make a visit

• Conversation Openers

 

These materials will ensure you'll be a fantastic volunteer and the experience will be a pleasant one for all parties involved.
