The application window for the 2025 Summer VolunTEEN Program is now closed.
Our summer program offers hands-on experience for 16–18-year-olds who want to learn more about the healthcare industry while giving back. Information and the unique application for this program are posted each year in April. Please do not use the general online volunteer form to apply.
Interviews for Program Acceptance
Student interviews for the summer program are scheduled for April 24th and April 25th. Students will be notified of acceptance the week following the interviews.
