Student Volunteer Program  

The Volunteer Services Student Program is divided into four separate programs.

• General Student Program (Year-Round) - College Students

• Pre-Med Summer Scholars (Summer Only) - High School Students
• Mattel Youth Ambassador ( Virtual Only) - Mattel Youth Ambassadors  

          *The minimum age to volunteer in any program is 16 years old. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit individuals coming into the hospital we will only be accepting a limited amount of volunteers.
