    Description

    Everyone knows how difficult it can be to find your way around a large building, especially a hospital. Part of a brand new program, ASK ME! volunteers are positioned at strategic points, where they both assure visitors heading in the right direction and direct those with questions to their destination.

    ASK ME! volunteers should expect to encounter and engage hundreds of people during a 2-3 hour shift. This role, which is mainly a standing and walking one, is an opportunity for students age 14-18 to get their first experience of what it is like being in a hospital.

    Applicants must be willing to serve a 2-to-4 hour shift on a consistent weekly basis during the summer of 2025. Shifts are available as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m.

    Location

    On-site
