We’re looking for the next generation of difference-makers to help support our patients, visitors and employees.

Norton Healthcare’s summer volunteer program welcomes high school students ages 14 and older to lend a much-appreciated helping hand. Our summer teen volunteers bring dynamic energy and compassion to the hospital care environment.

Benefits of being a summer teen volunteer:

• Contributing to the health and happiness of others
• Gaining experience working in a health care setting
• Skill and character development
• Community service hours

The summer program runs from June to August. Volunteers must commit to a regular weekly schedule for the duration of the eight-week program.

Requirements

• Applicants must be either high school students or at least age 14 by May 31, to qualify for the program. This includes eighth-grade graduates who will enter high school in the fall.
• Volunteers accepted into the program will be required to complete a health screening, including a tuberculosis test and proof of required immunizations. Volunteers also must be current on immunizations for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR vaccine); varicella (chickenpox); and tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap booster).
• Volunteers must complete orientation and training once assigned to a role.
