Volunteer at Westwood Facilities / Student Volunteers
Student Volunteer Program
 The Volunteer Services Student Program Coordinator works to make your volunteering experience a valuable asset towards your career goals. Over 300 volunteer positions offer opportunities for students to explore various healthcare-related options. Each year up to 10 student volunteers are selected to win awards, in which winners are announced late each Spring at a special event.
Applying to Volunteer
Due to the overwhelming student interest in volunteering for UCLA Health System, we have revised the student application and intake process. All students must first send a completed application including the 500-word essay, stating the applicant's reasons for volunteering to:
Volunteer Services

Once the essays and applications are received and reviewed, those accepted will be invited to the next available orientation. Click button below to
