Welcome!  We hope that you are as excited about this opportunity to volunteer at UNC Health Care as we are to have you here with us! Please read the information regarding this volunteer opportunity carefully prior to submitting your application.  There is a lot of important information that you need to be aware of before you make your final decision to become a volunteer.  Being a Junior Volunteer is a wonderful experience, but it requires committment, maturity and a drive to provide service to others!

 

*Our Junior Volunteer Program is full, and we regret that we are unable to take on new high school volunteers in the spring.  Due to the intensive nature of the training process to become a UNC Health Care Volunteer, volunteers are only accepted for either the entire academic year or summer programs and we are unable to offer short term volunteering.
