Our Volunteers
Volunteers are essential to our positive environment and the extra care we give our patients. We have weekly volunteers as well as special event volunteers that support our Clinic community. Volunteer shifts are 2 to 4 hours once a week and are flexible during Clinic hours, Mon.-Fri., 8:00am—5:00pm. Currently, we are not able accept volunteers under the age of 17, those looking for court-ordered community service hours, or anyone who is not able to commit to at least 50 hours or six months of volunteer work. We currently are not accepting applications for Patient & Family Volunteers. Applications for summer and fall 2019 positions will open March 1st, 2019. If you are interested in our Pet Therapy Volunteer Program or have a special project in mind, please email volunteer@childrensclinics.org.
Weekly Volunteer Opportunities:
Patient & Family Volunteers: Organize activities, assist with siblings so that parents can give undivided attention during their child’s appointment, read to children, monitor and assist with toys and games.
Administrative Volunteers: Organize donated clothing, assist with mailings and provide office functions.
Pet Therapy Volunteers: Certified Therapy animals (and their owners) are always welcome volunteers.

Internship Opportunities:
Patient & Family Interns: Interns work 9 – 12 hours/week in 3 to 4 hour shifts. Summer interns work 90 hours over 2 to 3 months. Spring and fall interns work 135 hours over 4 to 5 months. If selected, interns report to the Volunteer & Event Coordinator and work with the Volunteer/Child Life Department. Interns set at least two goals. One will be something you want to do (e.g. a summer reading program for patients) and another will be something you want to learn (e.g. shadowing one of our Child Life Specialists). If you are interested in Child Life, event planning, volunteer management, or working in the nonprofit sector, this is a great way to gain experience at a local nonprofit with a fun and flexible Volunteer/Child Life department.
