The College Student Volunteer Program at Regional One Health provides local college students the opportunity to gain invaluable experience in a hospital environment while making an impact on their community. The students in the College Volunteer Program work in clinical and non-clinical roles available throughout the hospital. The impact made by college student volunteers leaves a positive impression on the staff, visitors and patients.
The program welcomes students from a number of universities and colleges. This program places students in various units to support staff, patients and visitors. Undergraduate and Graduate students are welcome to apply and the volunteer opportunities change from semester to semester. In the past volunteers have been assigned to the following areas: Emergency Department, Pastoral Care, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Print Shop, Radiology, and Trauma.
Commitment
College Student Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of sixty (60) volunteer hours per semester (minimum of three (3) hours per week), with a requested regular schedule each month.
Qualifications
College Student Volunteers must be eighteen years of age, and currently enrolled in a college or university.
