What it means to be a Long Term Volunteer

Ronald McDonald House Maine is only able to continue operations in Maine with the robust support from our volunteers. Our volunteers make our Houses feel like a “home-away-from-home.”

Volunteer positions that fall under “Long Term” are: House Volunteers, Overnight Volunteers, Errand Runners, Family Room Volunteers, and Maintenance Volunteers. All volunteers for these positions
must be over 18.

We have some volunteers who have been with us for over 18 years, and while we don’t expect that commitment from everyone, we do want to cultivate volunteer relationships that are long-lasting! Volunteers must be able to commit to at least 6 months of service.

Everyone volunteering (or leading a volunteer group) must fill out the form below.

Our lovely volunteer managers will reach out once they have your application in hand.

Thank you so much for wanting to volunteer with us!
