Volunteen Program
Click here to see the guidelines
Exceptional Teens, ages 14 through 17, energize Driscoll Children's Hospital all day during the summer and throughout the school year on evenings and weekends. The Volunteen Program is a great learning opportunity for mature, responsible young people.
The Summer Volunteen program is for teens who want to volunteer in areas that are essential to the functioning of Driscoll Children’s Hospital. Areas teens volunteer in throughout the summer include the Carousel Gift Shop, the Carousel Connection, Information Desk, Room Service, the Cottage Shop, and Health Information Management (Medical Records) just to name a few. Teen applicants must be 14 years of age by January 1st of the summer in which they are applying for. The Summer Program is specifically for teens who will be in town during the summer and who will not be taking extended vacations, attending summer school or extended camp sessions. This program requires a teen to volunteer every week on their assigned day at the time of their assigned shift. A commitment to a one day a week for a four-hour am or pm shift is expected. Only one (1) absence is permitted during the eight (8) week program. Teens must complete the Summer Volunteen Program in order to be considered for a year round position. Students interested in the summer program should contact the Volunteer Department for information beginning January 1st of each year.
There are a limited number of teen positions available for the summer program. All teens must submit a completed application each year whether returning or new applicants. Teens will be accepted into the program based upon their interviews and their available schedules; denied teens will be sent a denial letter.
Be sure to apply early and beat the April 15th deadline.
Due to our strict infection control and confidentiality policies, teens are placed in areas that have limited patient contact.
Adult volunteer opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley specialty clinics in McAllen and Brownsville are also available Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Please contact the Volunteer Services Department at 361-694-5011 or 1-800-DCH-LOVE.
