Make a difference in your community while having fun and exploring the healthcare environment at Northside Hospital Cherokee. Our summer program is designed to provide students interested in healthcare careers access to the operations of a hospital. Volunteering is a fun activity, with hospital exposure. However, it’s also a serious commitment. VolunTeens provide hundreds of hours of valuable service to our patients, families and team members, and your department will depend on you for your assigned shift. Northside Cherokee offers volunteer opportunities in a variety of settings, included, but not limited to, customer service, clinical and non-clinical areas, patient transport and wayfinding. Please note that the teen program is competitive. We will offer 10 spots to the most qualified and enthusiastic teens. The selection process requires a 30 minute interview, which will occur in April. If you are selected for an interview, you will receive a formal email with the date, time and location of this interview.
