If you would like to receive communication regarding our teen programs, please email Volunteer Relations Specialist Melissa Mahon.
The Summer Teen Volunteer program is for those who will be a sophomore, junior, or senior in high school. Teens in our program fill various volunteer roles that focus on providing our patients and their families with an extra layer of care and comfort while at HonorHealth.
The program is an eight-week session that runs in June and July. The program requires a commitment of two four-hour shifts of service each week with a minimum of six weeks participation. Volunteer shifts are available Monday – Friday between 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Our teen volunteers hold various roles in our hospitals and at the Desert Mission Food Bank. In all roles, teens will interact with HonorHealth staff, patients and their families, improve communication skills and build confidence while giving back to the community.
In addition to volunteering, participants can take part in the Meet. Explore.Discover.Series (M.E.D. Series) which provides health care related education and career exploration for our teens. Our M.E.D. Series is a robust program focused on career exploration through conversation with doctors, researchers, clinical staff and tours of facilities.
