This program gives high school students 16-18 years old the opportunity to experience the joy of helping others throughout the year. Junior volunteers learn about healthcare by assisting staff, visitors, and patients with non-medical tasks. They perform many of the same duties as our adult volunteers.

We're looking for mature students who can make a reliable commitment of one 3-hour shift per week for a minimum of one year or 100 hours of service. As a volunteer, you must:
- Have reliable transportation
- Be able to follow directions
- Accept supervision
- Work independently
- Balance school and work with your volunteer responsibilities
We will try to make the best possible match based on an applicant’s interest and service area availability. All of our areas of service are considered patient care environments.
