Volunteer Program

The Volunteer Services program is located at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Because NYSPI’s primary mission is psychiatric research, most volunteers are assigned to assist the Institute’s researchers. Tasks range from clerical and administrative responsibilities, including data management, to human research subject contact, observing testing and interviews.

Volunteers accepted for placement must complete the registration process, which includes providing a background check, a medical clearance and online attendance to an orientation prior to starting their volunteering service.
