Interesting, flexible volunteer work
If you or your student is 14 to 18 years old, the high school service-learning program offers rewarding ways to give back to others and build skills. Different scheduling options make it easy for you to balance school and other activities. During your time in the high school service-learning program you may volunteer in the following areas:
Nutrition Services
Nutrition services volunteers assist the nutrition service department.

- Greet visitors and answer questions
- Help with patient transportation
- Provide directions to rooms and departments
