LUHS Junior Volunteer Summer Program
A valuable service learning experience for high school students

Valuable Experience for the Future
Our Junior Volunteer Summer Program is an opportunity for high school students to gain an inside view of the workings of a health-care facility. The program will provide experiences that will help students contemplate future careers and the hours will count towards community service requirements for high school.

A Service Learning Opportunity
The program begins with a two-hour orientation session to familiarize participants with the campus, the health system organization and safety, fire and infection control procedures. Students will complete a series of four, four-week service rotations in different health-care environments, volunteering on Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday.

Program Requirements
• Parental permission
• Minimum age of 16
• Must be available weekly to complete a minimum of 60 service hours during the four-month program
• Application and two recommendation letters
• Criminal background check (required for all volunteers by regulation and provided at no cost)
• Health screening (includes a drug screening, as required by regulation and provided at no cost)
• Attendance at a two-hour orientation program
