Teen Volunteers

all about people - and teen volunteers join with patients, caregivers, faculty, staff and adult volunteers to create a great institution.
A teen volunteer's role
A teen volunteer's role is to enhance quality of life by providing comfort, care and support to patients and their caregivers, to share the considerable resources that

There are limited teen positions available.
