Thank you for your interest in the Health System Auxiliary’s Teen Volunteer Program!
NGHS Auxiliary’s Teen Volunteer Program offers high school students a great opportunity to volunteer within hospital campuses of Northeast Georgia Health System. Teen Volunteers brighten lives with their positive spirit as they volunteer to enhance the quality of services provided to patients and visitors, and often they are gaining valuable exposure to healthcare careers. Being a teen volunteer is a great way to develop a college, technical school, or job reference.
We are currently evaluating applications as they are received. Placements are limited, and the website will be updated when the maximum number of teen volunteer applicants is reached for the summer of 2023.
