Junior Volunteers

Presbyterian Healthcare offers an opportunity for teens to learn about healthcare by assisting staff, visitors, and patients with non-medical tasks. Volunteers must be able to follow directions, accept supervision, and work independently. They should exhibit interest and enthusiasm.

We are looking for students who can make a dependable commitment of one shift per week for the entire program. There are no evening or weekend shifts available. Students who are interested in serving in a healthcare setting and who feel they can meet our expectations are invited to apply.

Junior Volunteer applications for the 2010 summer program are due on or before March 31, 2010.
