RECOGNITION
Unit interest helps us understand where you would like to contribute, but indicating interest does not automatically constitute placement. Final placement considers volunteer interests, skills, organizational needs and other relevant factors.
Your volunteer journey does not end with placement. SSHAI is designed to provide opportunities to contribute, learn, develop professionally and grow within a supportive community.
