Volunteer Opportunities
The volunteer experience
Children's Hospital and Health System provides outstanding care and patient services. Our volunteers create a special partnership with staff and play an important role in our commitment to children. We offer a wide variety of opportunities for those who wish to volunteer their time and talents.
Children's Hospital volunteers are committed people of different ages with diverse backgrounds. Each person offers something special. Our volunteers are teenagers, retired adults, moms and dads, college students and professionals.
Volunteers need to be at least 16 years old and willing to help a minimum of two hours a week. We ask that adults make at least a six-month commitment and students commit one semester. Hours and days are tailored to meet your schedule.
*PLEASE NOTE: Family and friend visitation increases during evening and weekend hours. Therefore, the demand for evening and weekend volunteers is not as great as weekday shifts. Limited availability often lengthens the application process for potential volunteers with evening or weekend requests.
