Becoming a Junior Volunteer

Our Junior Volunteer Program offers high school students the opportunity to enhance patient and visitor experience by volunteering at Enloe Health's Guest Services desk, Gift Shop and Outpatient Center. This is a year-around program, starting in June and ending the following year in May.

Junior volunteers:

  • Greet and escort visitors/patients
  • Deliver gifts and mail
  • Handle Gift Shop inventory and sales
  • Deliver lab specimens
  • Discharge patients
  • Provide Comfort Items

Benefits

Serving as a junior volunteer in this year-around program, is an enriching opportunity that helps participants build a diverse skillset. This includes gaining experience in areas such as:

  • Customer service in health care
  • Retail sales
  • Community service
  • Education and career exploration

Junior Volunteers will also receive a letter of recommendation and will be encouraged to apply for a scholarship.
