Beacon Dowagiac Volunteers

With their contagious smiles, comforting presence and huge hearts, our volunteers make Beacon Dowagiac (Formerly Borgess Lee Hospital) feel like home. Due to the nature of our work, there are a number of requirements that all volunteers must meet.

To volunteer at Beacon Dowagiac, you must be 16 years or older and commit to volunteering for at least 6 months. After completing a volunteer application, you will undergo a background check, drug screen, TB test, and health screening. Next, you will participate in an orientation and training session. Volunteers must complete an annual flu shot and TB test. Uniforms are required anytime you are volunteering. 

These requirements ensure that volunteers are well-prepared and dedicated to supporting the mission of Beacon Dowagiac. If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a volunteer application to start the process.
