Kresge Challenge Volunteer Opportunities Hospital volunteers help with patient care, office work, greeting and directing patients and visitors, answering phones, delivering mail, working in gift shops, and helping families who have loved ones in the operating room.
Many people come to volunteer work with years of experience in relevant areas.
Others come looking for experience in fields such as physical or occupational therapy, sports medicine, and nursing before applying to schools for further education. Most charitable and community organizations rely on volunteers to provide many of their services. Hospital Auxiliaries conduct and participate in volunteer service and fund-raising activities. Membership is required.
