All Teen Volunteer positions are on the Pinehurst campus, and the teen volunteer opportunities are year-round with flexible hours, including weekends. We work with each teen's schedule and interests in an effort to place each student in service areas that will provide exposure to various healthcare careers. Some of the service areas offered are a Surgical Medical floor, the Pharmacy, The Hospital Elderly Life Program (HELP), Hospice, the Lab and Patient Transport. We do require at least a ten (10) week commitment within a three (3) month period of time. Many student volunteers plan to volunteer for a longer period of time.

Volunteers participate in a placement interview and a general orientation. Additional prerequisites, including some vaccines, are required.
