CHOC Volunteer Information Sessions

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at CHOC. We appreciate your desire to serve our patients and families.

We do not have an online application for volunteers. Rather, we ask that volunteers attend a virtual 90-minute information session to learn more about our programs. Information sessions allow our staff the opportunity to meet you and get to know you better.

Please read the CHOC volunteer program requirements before reserving a spot at one of the following information sessions. Learn more about CHOC volunteer requirements.

High School Students
At this time, we are unable to offer any volunteer opportunities for high school students due to the limited volunteer positions available for minors. Please continue to check back periodically for an update.

Here are some other ways for high school students to get involved:

  • CHOC offers a summer internship program for high school and college students interested in the medical field. To learn more, please visit CHOC’s Medical Intelligence and Innovation Institute page.
  • Start a donation drive to help purchase toys, supplies, and gift cards for our patients. You can visit our Child Life – Helping Our Patients page for more details and to view our Amazon wish list. A donation letter and/or receipt can be made available upon request.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a very fluid environment, with national, state and local recommendations and guidelines changing frequently. Please keep in mind that at any given time, last minute changes may potentially occur.
