Maybe you re a retiree wanting to keep your skills fresh, or a student hoping to learn new skills or fulfill a school community service requirement. You could be working full-time, but enjoy helping others in your free time. There s a surprising range of opportunities for you at Miami Children s Hospital. Volunteers complement professional services in patient care and support areas of the hospital. Miami Children s Hospital takes great pride in its volunteers who devote many hours of personal time to provide assistance to the patients, their families and hospital staff.
Many hospital volunteers serve in areas where they work directly with our patients.
They may assist in administering care, providing appropriate activities for our young patients or assist in offering comfort and support to parents . Volunteers also provide invaluable support in non-patient care areas where they assist by typing, word processing, data entry, filing, phones and other clerical or technical services. The Community and Volunteer Resources Department at Miami Children s Hospital orients, interviews, trains and places all qualified people who want to volunteer. We enthusiastically welcome individuals of all backgrounds and abilities. Applicants must be at least 14 years old and, in most cases, at least 16 years old to work directly with the young patients.
