Volunteer Resources Volunteer Resources Department Imagine helping one of the world's leading pediatric health care facilities provide care to its young patients. 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 enjoying helping others in your free time. There's a surprising range of opportunities for you at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Volunteer service falls into two major categories - direct patient contact and limited or no patient contact.
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. Applicants must be at least 15 years old and in most cases, at least 18 years old to work directly with the young patients.
