Junior Volunteer Summer Program
Duke Raleigh Hospital
The Junior Volunteer Summer Program provides youths, ages 14 to 17, the opportunity to experience a variety of activities in a hospital setting. As they assist and comfort our patients and visitors, junior volunteers learn valuable lessons that they will use throughout their adult lives. This program is only offered during the summer months.
Junior Volunteer Requirements
- The program runs from the first week in June through the first week of August each summer.
- Each junior volunteer must commit to a minimum of seven volunteer weeks during the summer.
- The volunteer shift hours are from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm or 12:00 - 4:00 pm once a week.
- Junior volunteers are expected to behave in a professional and mature manner at all times.
