Thanks for your interest in becoming a Care Partners volunteer!

For the safety and well-being of our clients and those who provide services to them, all Care Partners volunteers are required to submit an application, complete program training, and pass a background check.

Any additional program-specific requirements are outlined in the training materials.  

To begin our self-directed training, please view the following introduction videos:

Thank you for watching!

To continue the volunteer application and training process:

Chore Volunteers

Senior Rides Volunteers

Companion Volunteers

ALL VOLUNTEERS

After you’ve completed the quiz, we’ll contact you to arrange an in-person meeting to review the training material, answer any questions, and begin the background check process.

Please let us know if:

  • You would prefer to receive a hard copy of the application and training manual and we’d be glad to deliver or mail them to you, or arrange a time for you to pick them up from the Care Partners office.
  • A reading-focused method of learning doesn’t work well for you so we can discuss other options for covering the material.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at 387-3788 or by email at christie@carepartnersofcookcounty.org
