Volunteer Your Time

Volunteer Program At Carney Hospital

 Thank you for your interest in becoming a Carney Hospital volunteer. Our volunteers come from unique backgrounds and consist of individuals who want to make a difference, give back to their community, form new friendships or obtain beneficial work experience. The roles they play are invaluable to our patients, their families and hospital staff.

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities available designed to fit individual time schedules, abilities and interests. Volunteers may work directly with patients or choose to work behind-the-scenes.

There are opportunities for both adults and teens (our junior volunteers). Teens can volunteer throughout the year or during the summer.
