Teen Volunteer Program

The Teen Volunteer Program is a rewarding experience that provides a special opportunity for teens, ages 15-17, who are interested in gaining a first-hand experience in a pediatric health care environment.

Teens who are accepted into the program will be placed in a variety of approved assignments throughout the hospital under supervision of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh staff.

The Teen Volunteer Program application period has passed, and we are no longer accepting new application inquiries for teens, ages 15-17, for the remainder of the calendar year.

If you or someone you know will be eligible and interested in becoming a teen volunteer next year, please check back by next January or early February to find out about the Teen Volunteer Program application process. Please note that this program is extremely popular, as we receive a very large number of inquiries each year, and we are not able to accept all candidates.
