Candy Striper and Junior Volunteer Program 2011 APPLY HERE
We are very excited about our 2011 Candy Striper / Junior Volunteer Program. The goal is to provide positive, energetic students (ages 14-18) who are possibly interested in healthcare or other real world experience with an environment and an opportunity to learn, help others, build friendships, and give back. The program also provides assistance to departments that could use extra sets of hands. The Candy Stripers / Jr. Volunteers also help to make the hospital a little happier and friendlier. Volunteering can be a rewarding way to spend your summer! Please be sure to take a look at the program overview and requirements as we are implementing some changes this year.
