Teen Volunteer Leadership in Cancer Care Program

• Teens must be between the ages of 15 and 17 (by June 1 of the applicable summer) and enrolled in high school. Individuals that are 18 years of age and/or graduated high school may apply to the College Volunteer Program. 
• All volunteers are required to submit proof of vaccination for the primary vaccination series for COVID-19 and flu vaccines. Being fully vaccinated means you have completed the primary vaccination series for COVID-19. A primary vaccination series is defined as follows:
  • The administration of a single-dose vaccine (such as the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 Vaccine), 
  • Or, the administration of all required primary doses of a multi-dose vaccine (such as Dose 1 and Dose 2 of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (interchangeable with the licensed Comirnaty Vaccine) or the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine).
    

Teens are accepted to one of two sessions:

• Session 1: Monday, June 12 through Friday, June 30
• Session 2: Monday, July 10 through Friday, July 28

The teen program time commitment is Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Each day, there will be a lunch break from noon to 1 p.m. Teens will bring their own lunch and cannot leave campus. 
• During lunch, volunteers will learn about career exploration, leadership training, and other opportunities from MD Anderson faculty and staff. 

During the program, teens will volunteer in several different areas and positions including customer service and clinic experience.
