Teens 15 and older can volunteer here after completing
a three-hour orientation. Only those 18 and older can have direct contact with
the patients. Teens younger than 18 can still help out by greeting patients and
their families at the front desk and doing clerical work. The hospital asks for
a minimum of a six month commitment plus 100 hours of service. Teens work a
minimum of two to four hours a week, depending on the department and can choose
their schedule. After service is completed, the hospital will write a letter to
give students either high school or college credit.
I find this
interesting because you can work and not get paid. So like you can graduate
from high school.
