Volunteering is a fun activity, with lots of hospital exposure. However, it is also a serious commitment. VolunTeens provide hundreds of hours of valuable service to our patients, visitors and team members. Wellstar Paulding Medical Center offers volunteer opportunities in a variety of settings, including, but not limited to, customer service, clinical and non-clinical departments, patient transport and wayfinding.
The VolunTeen program is for high school students aged 15-18 interested in a career in healthcare. Please note that the teen program is competitive. We offer limited spots to the most qualified applicants. The selection process requires a 15-minute interview, which will occur in April or early May. If you are selected for an interview, you will receive a formal email with all pertinent details. If accepted into the program, you must attend a 2-hour mandatory orientation session and complete all remaining required paperwork. We will offer two evening orientation date options to choose from to aid in your busy schedules from school. A parent will be required to attend with you as the first ten minutes will address frequently asked parent questions and ensure they have signed additional documents.
College Students
If you are a college student seeking summer volunteer opportunities, visit our volunteer page and complete the application process. College students must be available to volunteer for 6 weeks during the summer to be eligible for consideration.
