The clinics operate during weekday hours, and for that reason, most students' schedules only allow them to volunteer during the summer when they are not in school. Click here to check out the summer volunteer program .
College students volunteer in a wider range of assignments throughout the medical center.
The minimum time requirement for the daytime program is one half day shift per week for six months or longer. Evening and weekend opportunities exist, but because they require a one-year commitment and can include several months of waiting to begin, they are generally not a good match for most college students. Most volunteer assignments involve direct contact with the patients and families of Children's Memorial, but exposure to medical procedures and contact with physicians is generally not available in most volunteer roles. If you plan to get college credit for your volunteer work, check with your school to find out what they require.
