Youth
Summer ‘volunteen’ program recruiting Advance applications for the Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert medical centers’ 2012
summer “volunteen” program are available until March 22. Applicants must be ages 14 to 18 and have an interest in helping others, gaining work expe-
rience and making new friends at either medical center or one of the Dignity Health Urgent Care centers in Ahwatukee, Gilbert or Queen Creek. Approximately 150 “volunteens” will be accepted into the program and will assist with ser-
vices such as escorting patients, delivering flowers and newspapers, performing clerical duties, assisting at the nursing stations and running miscellaneous errands around the medical center. In return each volunteen receives a $4.50 meal voucher for every shift that they work. Dignity Health requires all “volunteens” to serve a minimum of 40 hours over the summer as
well as attend three mandatory educational sessions. Upon successful completion of the pro- gram, participants will receive a certificate of completion, a copy of their hours for future schol- arship applications, a letter of recommendation and the opportunity to apply for the Dignity Health Volunteer scholarship. Since the program’s inception in 2008, more than 350 teens have donated more than 14,000 hours. “Volunteering for Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert medical centers is a great opportunity
for teenagers to get an inside look at what it’s like to work in the healthcare industry while at the same time making an important and positive impact on our patients, staff and visitors,” says Barb Farmer, manager of Volunteer Services for Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert medical centers.
