Volunteering at Mayo Clinic is an exciting and rewarding opportunity that matches caring people with services that provide help and comfort to patients and their families who come to Mayo Clinic, Saint Marys Hospital and Rochester Methodist Hospital.
People of all ages and from all walks of life volunteer at Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic volunteers can find fellowship and fulfillment in helping others while honoring Mayo's commitment that "the needs of the patient come first."
Volunteering offers people the opportunity to learn new skills, use existing skills and meet new friends while providing important services to patients and their families.
