How you begin
We know that different individuals prefer different kinds of assignments for a whole host of different reasons. Hazelden will place volunteers in positions following a screening process that includes an application and personal interview. A volunteer's skills, interest and background will be matched as closely as possible to an appropriate position. We're always open to new ideas for volunteer involvement.

What's in it for you?
As a volunteer at Hazelden, you'll receive many benefits. These include:

• Discount on Hazelden books
• Use of Hazelden library
• Admission to daily lectures
• Complimentary meal tickets
• Use of Hazelden CORK Center recreational facility in Center City

However, the most important benefit of being a volunteer is the satisfaction of helping others. Whether it's a warm hello, a friendly face or a helping hand, just knowing that you made a difference in someone's life makes it all worthwhile.
