Our Volunteer Programs
Paragraph(s)
People volunteer at Duke Raleigh Hospital for lots of different reasons and come from a myriad of backgrounds, but they all have at least one thing in common: they volunteer so they can use their special talents, learn new skills, and do the things they like to do.
We offer opportunities to people of all ages and skill levels. Volunteers welcome the public and assist patients throughout the hospital.
- Adult volunteers
- College volunteers
- Junior volunteers (high school students, ages 16-17)
- Duke Raleigh Hospital Guild
