Our volunteers and volunteens contribute valuable services and spend quality
time with patients, residents, and families. By simply talking or being
near a patient, volunteers act as a “healing presence” that
provide support and hope during troubled times.
There are many different and wonderful ways to volunteer at St. John’s
Health. Please contact the Volunteer Office for specifics.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Sage Living
CDL-licensed drivers for resident and therapeutic outings
Good Samaritan transportation to/from appointments
VolunTEENS
The “Volunteens” program is open to students age 14 to 17.
Participants serve in many areas of the health system and provide comfort to
patients. Volunteers will be thoroughly educated on proper health system etiquette.
This is a great program for teens who have an interest in the medical
field or who just want to help their community.
A parent/guardian of the volunTEEN applicant must also print and sign
a parental release form.
