Junior Volunteers

If you want to make an impact on your community or spend some time giving back to those who need help, United Hospital’s Volunteer Services could use your help.

Our Junior Volunteer program is for youths aged 14 to 18. We offer volunteer opportunities during each session of the school year — fall, winter and spring. Attend one (or more) of our sessions and spend that time helping patients, families and friends at the hospital. You’ll learn about health care and reap the benefits of volunteering.

Benefits of volunteering

The feeling you get when you help others is the best benefit of volunteering at United Hospital because you’ll be making a difference in people’s lives. You’ll meet a variety of people and you will receive:

• flexible scheduling
• complimentary parking, a one-way bus pass or one-way Metro Mobility pass
• $7 meal credit per day
• annual flu vaccine
