Volunteering at the UW Med Center has flexible hours (the requirement is 4 hours a week for at least three months, and the Center helps teen volunteers get shifts on the weekends or after school), and is a great way to get into a professional healthcare setting. Volunteers are responsible for patients and assisting them, and the experience is very valuable to anyone after a career in the medical profession (it looks good on college and job applications, too!).
UW Med Center’s program is open year round and always accepting new volunteers. The majority of teens volunteer during summer vacation, and stop when the school year starts, so new volunteers would be very helpful to the Med Center at this time of year! Opportunities are available at both the main University of Washington Medical Center, at 1959 NE Pacific St., and the Roosevelt UW Medical Center, at 4245 Roosevelt Way NE. To sign up for an information meeting at the medical center, call Volunteer Services at 206-598-4218. Volunteer Services is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm.
The Pacific Science Center’s Discovery Corps is a program that allows teen volunteers to work at the Pacific Science Center, and gain skills useful for careers in science and career experience on a whole. There are training sessions available to join the Discovery Corps on November 7, 14, and 21, from 9 am to 5:30 pm.
