Why volunteer at a Ronald McDonald Family Room?

Staying in the hospital can be tiring and isolating. But at a Ronald McDonald Family Room, our volunteers play a big part in helping families feel comfortable, safe and refreshed.

The Volunteer Experience

While at either Ronald McDonald Family Room, you’ll greet guests and make them feel at home. Keep a fresh pot of coffee at all times and some healthy snacks laid out for our visitors. You might help kids with craft projects or games. You will most definitely lend a listening ear to a parent who could use a friend in the moment.

We operate two programs at:

Banner-Children's-Diamond-Children's-Medical-Center-logo
TMC HEALTH

You might be a good fit to volunteer at a Ronald McDonald Family Room if you:

  • Are at least 18 years old
  • Can commit to at least one 4-hour shift per week for at least the next six months
  • Can pass a criminal background check
  • Meet the criteria for all hospital guidelines for volunteers
  • If this doesn’t describe you, try one of our other opportunities, or take the quiz!
