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 as well as details for the Summer 2013 program are now available through April 20, 2013.
