Volunteering Opportunities 

June 2023

Teen Volunteer Summer Program - Medical Field opportunities 

Samaritan Medical Center is looking for a “few good volunteers.” 


This would be an excellent experience for students looking towards a medical career as well as a wonderful way to give back to the community. The medical field is an exciting and diverse one, which holds many different experiences for a student. They have had volunteers in the respiratory, maternity, nursing floors, information desk, storeroom, information technology and the nursing home– just to mention a few. Many colleges are looking for volunteer hours as a requirement for admission- another good reason to volunteer. Becoming a Samaritan Volunteer might be a good fit for students interested in a hospital or a nursing home setting.

 

Requirements of the potential teen volunteers in order to participate in the program:

 


The program runs for 6 weeks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.  

There is a mandatory one day orientation for all summer teens to attend on June 29th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. 

Please see the application, a letter with more information for interested students, as well as the teacher recommendation form below.


If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Bradbury at (315)785-4479 or by email, abradbury@shsny.com
