Why Volunteer With Us?

Elgin St. Thomas Public Health values the time and contributions of all of its volunteers. Public Health volunteers assist staff members with the delivery of programs, services and information that promote and protect the health of those that live, work and play in St. Thomas and Elgin County. Our volunteer program gives you the opportunity to share your valuable time while learning more about public health.

We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities. We match your special skills, interests and time to create a volunteer experience that you will enjoy and find rewarding. You can volunteer from home, in the office at 99 Edward Street in St. Thomas, or at one of our events.
