Volunteering
Make a difference in your community and your career!
Volunteers are needed in many areas of health care. Whatever your interests or abilities, there is a service organization or hospital that's just right for you. You may prefer working with patients and visitors, or you might choose to help with filing and typing. Some volunteers choose a quiet atmosphere, while others thrive on the hustle and bustle of a busy department.
Volunteering makes you feel great! It's a chance to give to others in need, make new friends, test out careers in health care, give you some practical experience and most of all, it’s a chance to do something worthwhile in your community. Volunteering looks great on your resume or in your portfolio. It shows you care about others.
Contact your local hospital, other healthcare facilities in your community or your school counselor to see how you can make a difference today!
