Fox Chase Cancer Center Individuals are recruited and trained to assist with the management of the mission of the Center supporting patient care and research. An application and personal interview is required followed by an orientation and training. Volunteers at Fox Chase range in age from 14 to 95. They are students, retirees and individuals exploring career options. They are patients, survivors and caregivers.
Volunteers contribute to total patient care and indeed reduce the burden of human cancer.
Students for area high schools complete community service requirements here. There is a large summer student volunteer program that provides an introduction to medical and research careers. There are also limited placements in research laboratories for college and graduate students.
