How do I register to volunteer?
We ask that all volunteers take a moment to register on
AZ-ESAR-VHP and join “Pima County.” Once your registration is complete, please be patient, and notifications for new volunteer opportunities will arrive via email as soon as they are available.
I am a medical provider. How do I volunteer as a medical provider?
Currently, our medical volunteers are coordinated through the Medical Reserve Corps of Southern Arizona (MRCSA). They work to vet every volunteer and manage the scheduling of all of their members for the vaccine clinics. Please visit MRCSA.org for more information about their organization and how you can join as a member.
To help coordinate your membership, please provide the following information when completing your profile:
- Your active license/certification number and expiration date (if you are not active, please indicate so)
- Your background/skills
- Role(s) you wish to volunteer for (please note that to administer vaccinations, you must have an active license)

I signed up for a shift, but didn't get a confirmation. What do I do?
You will see a confirmation message when you sign up. Confirmation emails arrive from VolunteerHub, so please check your spam folder if you don't receive one.
What should I bring? What should I wear?
Please be sure to bring a water bottle, snacks, a mask, comfortable clothing, and closed-toed shoes.
What kind of work will I be doing?
Volunteers will assist with on-site operations in non-medical roles. Volunteers will help in roles such as greeters, supply runners, check-outs, foodservice tech, and traffic flow assistance. These roles are subject to change, and you may be asked to fulfill other positions as needed.
Are there any requirements to be a volunteer?
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Volunteers must also be able to sit, stand, and walk for long periods of time. Volunteer positions will also require you to twist, bend, lift, and carry supplies.
Do I have to be vaccinated to help?
No, you do not have to be vaccinated to volunteer.
When do the opportunities get posted?
Opportunities are posted as they become available and an alert is sent out via email.
What happens if I can’t attend my scheduled shift?
We ask that you let us know via VolunteerHub at least 24 hours ahead of your scheduled start time. After you cancel 3 shifts, you will no longer be allowed to volunteer with the COVID-19 Vaccine distribution.
Do I have to live in Pima County to volunteer?
No, you do not have to live in Pima County to volunteer.
Can I bring my (wife, husband, child, friend) to my volunteer shift with me?
We ask that you refrain from bringing any additional volunteers when you report to your scheduled shift. While we appreciate the help, it can bring up safety concerns and be counterproductive for the vaccine clinic’s operations. We wish only for the best experience for all of our volunteers and for everyone to contribute efficiently. If volunteers are not on the schedule, they will be asked to leave the site and wait to sign up for a later date.
I signed up for a shift, but I didn’t receive an email.
