Prospective CHOC volunteers are asked to register below to learn more about our program and participate in group interviews. Interviews allow our staff the opportunity to get to know you as well as for you to get to know us and ensure that our program is the right fit overall.

Before registering below, please be sure to review and meet the criteria in our Requirements tab.

Please note, due to high community interest, there are limited spots available each month. Once the max has been reached, the registration window will close. Additional spots will become available each month; if you try to register via the link below but are not able to, please try again in the next month or until you can obtain a spot.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a waitlist, and it can take several attempts before you are able to secure a spot. We appreciate your interest and patience!
