Summer VolunTEEN Program
2023 Summer VolunTEEN Program
This summer’s program will allow teens to have real-world experience in the hospital. Teens will volunteer one shift a week from 9:30 am – 2 pm in a department in the hospital. They will volunteer in the same department each week. This is a volunteer opportunity, not shadowing or an internship. Teens will be working alongside healthcare workers to support and learn about their roles inside a hospital. The volunteer work includes tasks such as helping with inventory, organizing clinical supplies, delivering meal trays, responding to patient requests, transporting patients, reports, filing, etc. The program will run from Monday, June 5 until Friday, July 28.
