"We are seeking individuals with strong customer service and communication skills and a willingness to go that 'extra step' in assisting our visitors and patients at the medical center," said Carey McCarthy, volunteer coordinator at UCLA Medical Center. For interested individuals, an informational tea will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m. at UCLA Medical Center. For more information, or to make a reservation, please call the Volunteer Office at (310) 825-6001.To qualify for the Ambassador program, volunteers must complete a special training session and be able to volunteer once a week for four hours. Volunteers will be required to walk around the hospital and push wheelchairs, if necessary, and will also wear a special blazer provided by the hospital.
