At Children’s, volunteers assist with everything from patient care to customer service and administrative support. Whether you’re helping at the gift shop, making a delivery to a patient’s room, or interacting at the bedside, you will positively affect a family’s hospital experience.
Children's offers many hospital volunteer and educational opportunities for a variety of ages and groups.
The types of activities you can provide for patients and families at Children’s are unlimited and we welcome your creative ideas. We provide guidelines and suggestions to help you with your planning.
Children's Canines For Kids animal assisted therapy program helps ease anxiety and promotes shorter recovery times. Canine Assistants trains our service dogs to provide therapy, hope and healing by doing everything from giving loving support during chemotherapy treatments to offering comforting snuggles before surgery. Children's also partners with outside service animal companies who often visit our hospitals. Patients are notified when we have these furry visitors so that they may interact with them if they choose to.
