The program also helps departments that could use extra hands. Volunteering as a junior volunteer can be a great way to spend your summer.

Interviews will be May 2 through 5.

Volunteers must check in and out each day. They are not allowed to leave the hospital during their shift. Transportation must be provided and volunteer needs to be picked up at the end of their shift. A parent or guardian signature will be required on permission to participate form for students under the age of 18.
