Summer High School Volunteer Program
For an eight-week period each summer, high school volunteers help make a difference during their summer break by providing play activities to patients in waiting areas, assisting with special events at the hospital, working with Dr. Bear®’s Closet donations, and assisting staff at the Welcome Desk and Gift Shop.
The application process for the Summer 2010
program is now closed. Please check back on March 1, 2011 for
applications and details regarding the Summer 2011 Program.
