Become a Volunteer

Members of our Volunteer Service League are ambassadors for Banner Ironwood Medical Center. Our volunteers are as diverse as the communities we serve.

Our volunteer program provides flexibility in scheduling and placement to accommodate seasonal volunteers, teens and career professionals. The goal of the Volunteer Services department is to maximize our volunteers' talent by providing opportunities that use their skills.
