We also offer a summer Teen Program for high school students ages 15 - 18.

Teen Volunteer Information

Carolinas Medical Center is offering a comprehensive Summer Teen Volunteer Program for high school students ages 15-18. The program’s focus is to provide students with education and experience in a hospital setting through volunteer service and informative learning sessions. Volunteers provide non-clinical support, but there are a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the hospital from delivering sterile equipment to various units, providing directions and/or escorting patients and visitors, assisting with clerical work, playing the lobby piano, and more.

Educational learning sessions give students the opportunity to connect with health care professionals and explore a broad variety of hospital specialties.

The 2026 Summer Volunteer session will begin the week of June 15th and end the week of August 10th. Volunteers will be required to commit to one shift a week for 2 hours: these shifts are Monday through Friday, morning or afternoon.
