Miscellaneous information
As a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, you have limited contact with children. The house is a haven for the families of the sick children. Since you will interact with individuals from all geographic, socio-economic and ethnic/racial backgrounds, you must be compassionate, responsible, flexible and most of all, able to have fun!
