Give Back to Levine Children’s Hospital

Levine Children's Hospital ensures excellence in children's healthcare by building partnerships with caregivers, families and the community it serves.

The partnership began long before the hospital opened its doors in 2007, when generous individuals, corporations and foundations stepped forward to help build their community hospital – a place of hope. This support continues today through volunteerism and generous contributions.

As current programs grow and receive national acclaim, new services continue to emerge. As a result, children are able to receive the highest level of care – right here in our community.

Volunteering at Levine Children's Hospital

COVID-19 Update: Per Atrium Health policy, COVID-19 vaccinations are required for all volunteers. Unvaccinated applicants may receive their COVID-19 vaccines during the health clearance process, if selected to our program. Masks are required at all our facilities for visitors, patients, teammates, and Volunteers, regardless of vaccination status.

The best gift you can give a child is simple – your time. Every year, more than 500 people contribute 18,000 volunteer hours to Levine Children's Hospital, and we couldn't do it without your support. We have several volunteer opportunities whether you can be on a regular schedule or a more flexible one. See the difference a few hours of your time can make in the life of a sick child.

Teen Advisory Council at Levine Children's Hospital

Comprised of both patients and siblings, this group provides input and feedback directly to the hospital from the patient's and family's points of view. The Teen Council gives current and previous patients, and their siblings, a forum in which they can voice their thoughts, ideas and concerns to members of Levine Children's Hospital's leadership team, then work together to improve the quality of care and services provided for patients.

Members are given opportunities to develop and practice self-advocacy skills, develop individual leadership skills and contribute to the Levine Children's Hospital community.

The goals of this group are to serve as role models, survey current patients (some are current patients themselves) and offer peer support, and continue to offer valuable and constructive feedback to Levine Children's Hospital.

At this time, the Teen Advisory Council is only open to current and former patients and siblings. For more information about the Teen Advisory Council, please contact Mike Daly, or call 704-381-7251.
