Teenage Volunteers
Teens with a heart to serve and who want exposure working in a healthcare environment are invited to apply to be part of the St. Vincent's Medical Center Riverside or St. Vincent's Medical Center Southside Teenage Volunteer Program. The program is open to all 14 to 17 year olds and/or those who are going into the 9th grade but are 13 years old.
To become a teenage volunteer at St. Vincent's HealthCare choose one of the applications below. Applications are accepted February 1st for the upcoming summer. Please refer to individual applications for contact and submission information.
