Pediatric Specialty Clinic Volunteer

Unit Description

Volunteers in this unit work with Child Life staff to make a child's visit to the hospital less scary and tense. The primary duty of volunteers in the Pediatric Specialty Clinic (PSC) is to spend time in the waiting room area playing with children and assist with management, maintenance and cleaning of toys and playroom.

Training

Each volunteer will arrange and participate in a mentorship with a Volunteer Student Mentor.

Uniform

The dress code for this unit is a Volunteer Services polo, khaki pants, and closed-toe shoes. Shirts are available for purchase at Wild Rose Gifts (Main Entrance Lobby) Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Volunteers must follow the professional appearance policy, which includes wearing the volunteer badge at all times.

Hours Available

Volunteers in the PSC can choose from times ranging from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Three hours total are expected from unit volunteers.

Areas of Study Best Suited

This unit is great for any major, whether it be health science-related, education, or open. Students interested in working with children in the future are encouraged to volunteer. Simply put, volunteers need only a strong desire to work with children and have fun.
