Junior Volunteers

Presbyterian Healthcare offers an opportunity for teens to learn about healthcare by assisting staff, visitors, and patients with non-medical tasks.
Volunteers must be able to follow directions, accept supervision, and work independently. They should exhibit interest and enthusiasm.
We are looking for students who can make a dependable commitment of one shift per week, three or four hours long, for the entire program. There are no evening or weekend shifts available. Students who are interested in serving in a healthcare setting and who feel they can meet our expectations are invited to apply.
