Our Volunteers Make Every Day Brighter

Volunteers are vital members of the Brooks Rehabilitation team. We rely on hundreds of individuals, companies and groups to support the needs of those in our care and the community.  

Whether you enjoy interacting with patients, supporting our corporate staff or assisting individuals in continued recovery, we can help find a place to share your skills. 

Requirements 

Volunteers are required to commit to a minimum of 100 hours or 6 months of service except for adaptive sports and recreation volunteers. Many positions require an interview, background check, fingerprints and vaccination record.  

Don’t have the time to volunteer? Consider donating to our foundation that provides funding for patient care, renowned research and community programs.
