Volunteer Opportunities
Established in 1933, Yale-New Haven Hospital has one of the oldest organized hospital volunteer programs in the country. The hospital's 1,500 volunteers contribute more than 83,000 hours of service annually.
Energetic volunteers of all ages and skills are needed. Volunteers are generally asked to give a minimum of four hours a week for at least six months. There are a variety of volunteer roles to fit individual time schedules, abilities and interests. Volunteers may work directly with patients or choose work behind-the-scenes.

Students age 14 and older may earn valuable work experience and impact the lives of others by volunteering twice a week for 12 weeks after school.
During the summer, Yale-New Haven Hospital offers student placements in a variety of departments, lunch and learn sessions and social activities. This popular summer program requires students to commit to 12 hours each week. Space is limited - interested students are encouraged to apply early.
