Pediatric Hospital Outreach & Community Engagement Volunteer

About Bee's Blessing Box

Bee's Blessing Box is a Colorado nonprofit dedicated to providing individuals and families in need with free access to nonperishable food and essential items while creating free community-based activities that promote compassion, mutual support, and community togetherness.

Through our programs, we strive to create meaningful experiences, strengthen community connections, and make a positive difference in the lives of children and families.

We are looking to expand our outreach into pediatric healthcare settings and develop partnerships that allow us to bring additional support, activities, and positive experiences to hospitalized children and their families.

About the Volunteer Opportunity

We are seeking enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers to help develop and grow our Pediatric Hospital Outreach initiative!

This opportunity is ideal for individuals interested in the intersection of nonprofit work and healthcare, particularly those passionate about pediatrics, child development, neuroscience, oncology, palliative care, social work, or family support.

Volunteers will help us explore community partnerships with children's hospitals and healthcare organizations, coordinate special events and activities, and develop creative ways to support children and families navigating hospitalization and medical challenges.

As this initiative grows, there may also be opportunities to assist with and participate in activities and events directly at partnering hospitals.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Depending on your interests and availability, responsibilities may include:

• Hospital Outreach: Researching pediatric hospitals and healthcare organizations, identifying partnership opportunities, and communicating with hospital departments and community relations teams.
• Event Planning: Helping brainstorm, organize, and coordinate seasonal celebrations, craft activities, special events, and family engagement opportunities.
• Program Development: Developing ideas for patient activity kits, comfort packages, sibling activities, and other projects that support hospitalized children and their families.
• Community Engagement: Connecting with local businesses, organizations, and potential donors to gather supplies and resources.
• In-Person Support: Assisting with approved hospital activities, events, donation deliveries, and volunteer projects as partnerships become established.

• Individuals studying public health, psychology, human development, or nonprofit management.
• Anyone passionate about supporting children, families, and their communities.

No specific healthcare experience or previous nonprofit experience is required. We are looking for individuals who are dependable, creative, compassionate, and excited to contribute their ideas and skills.
