Become a Volunteer

Duke University Hospital

At this time, Duke Health is unable to onboard new volunteers for Duke University Hospital, Duke University Hospital based clinics, or Duke HomeCare & Hospice. Please click here to complete a Volunteer Interest Survey.

You will be contacted once a decision has been made to onboard new volunteers. We ask that you complete the Volunteer Interest Survey only once. If you previously completed this survey, you do not need to complete it again. Please continue to check for updates.

All of our volunteers have unique reasons for volunteering their time and skills. Duke University Hospital volunteers have the opportunity to be of service to our patients, their families, the staff, and the greater community, while also gaining the personal satisfaction of knowing that they have helped others.
