Ronald McDonald Family Room at UNC Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill

The Ronald McDonald Family Room is located in the UNC Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill. Volunteers are needed to help provide a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere for families of hospitalized children. The room provides a "home away from home" inside the hospital walls where family members of seriously ill inpatient children can take a respite from patient care, while remaining only steps away from their child's bedside. Volunteers can work in the Family Room and/or the Hospitality Kiosk located inside the NCCU.

Volunteers should be at least 18 years old, willing to meet basic immunization and health requirements to be a hospital volunteer, and commit to volunteering once a week for at least 6 months. Undergraduate/graduate students are able to volunteer on a semester basis, please indicate you are a student to receive those details.
