Participation in the Student Volunteer Program will give the student opportunities for training in community service and to observe careers in hospital fields.

Volunteers serve without pay and are responsible for their own transportation and to purchase their uniforms. A volunteer is expected to be reliable and regular in attendance.

REQUIREMENTS

• Must be 14 years of age or old and have completed 8th grade.
• Must be able to work a regular weekly assignment.
• Must have a personal interview with a member of the Volunteer Service Department.
• Must have two school references and one personal reference completed by an adult.

All students accepted for the Student Volunteer Program are required to attend an orientation session. After orientation there will be on-the-job training. Staff and experienced volunteers will participate in the training process.

Uniforms: Please follow the dress code outlined in the handbook.

Female students wear either a red smock or a red and white jumper with a white blouse underneath. Male students wear a red jacket.

Jeans, t-shirts, shorts, stretch pants or leotard pants are not acceptable.

An ID badge will be issued at the orientation session and must be worn at all times while in the hospital.

The hospital reserves the right to reject an applicant or terminate the service of a volunteer if, in the hospital’s opinion, it is in the best interest of the hospital to do so.

Applications are available in the Volunteer Office, on this web site or by calling 215-612-4170.
