Research Volunteer Placement at CAMH

At CAMH, research is not just about “discovering” it is also about sharing and applying our discoveries to the communities, thus bringing what was once a research technology directly to our clients. People with addiction and mental health issue face many challenges and with research we bring hope and inspiration for a better tomorrow.

Research Volunteers assist staff in obtaining information necessary for research projects. The departments in which volunteers work vary depending on the availability of the programs. The skills required for these positions include knowledge of research methodology and some prior relevant experience.
