Volunteer Opportunities

 

Make a difference in your community

When you become a volunteer at Newton-Wellesley Hospital there are many benefits. Volunteering is a great way to become actively involved in your community. It helps you develop your skills and experience and can help you explore career possibilities. You will help people who are sick or injured and as you do so you are meeting new people along the way.

Volunteers at Newton-Wellesley Hospital help us fulfill our mission of providing outstanding care to the people in the community. We depend on volunteers like you to help make it happen.

How Do I Become a Volunteer?

Please note that due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are accepting volunteer applications but availability of positions may be variable. Late afternoon (after 4pm), evening and weekend positions are currently very limited.

Acceptance into the volunteer program is contingent of satisfactory results of the interview, occupational health screening, criminal history check (CORI), and other information provided by the volunteer.

Adult and College Students

  • We are currently accepting applications from adults and college students.
  • The 2022 Summer College program is closed to applications.
  • College students interested in general volunteer opportunities must commit to volunteering for at least 2 semesters (summer/fall, fall/spring or spring/summer).

  • Complete a NWH Volunteer Application  
  • Once your application has been submitted, call our Volunteer Office at 617-243-6048 to schedule a volunteer interview. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
  • Volunteer interviews are scheduled from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Bring a government issued photo ID (or school IDs + Birth Certificate) to your interview.

High School Summer Student Volunteer Program

Thank you for your interested in volunteering at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Due to an overwhelming response, the application process for our Summer 2022 High School Program is now closed. Please visit our website in August of 2022 for information about fall placements for our high school volunteer program.

Who Volunteers at Newton-Wellesley Hospital?

Our volunteers come from all walks of life. We have volunteers from age 15 to over the age of 90. They include students, retirees, people with full-time careers, vocational work groups, and others who choose to spend their extra time serving their community.

Where Do Volunteers Serve?

Volunteers work with us in nearly every area of the hospital. We depend on our volunteers to provide the high-quality care our community deserves. You may choose to serve patients and their families in inpatient or outpatient areas, assist our support services staff members, orprovide administrative support. The following are examples of the many hospital areas, programs, and roles where you can volunteer your time and may not be reflective of current availability for volunteer placement.

What Are the Volunteer Time Requirements?

Our staff members and volunteers all make mutual commitments to provide quality service. Because of the time we spend to train our volunteers, we expect a minimum of three hours of volunteer service each week, depending on individual assignments, over the duration of three to four months. This is equivalent to a total minimum commitment of 100 hours per year for adults, 50 hours over two semesters for college students, and 50 hours per year for high school students.

Certain volunteer programs, such as the Patient Representative and Surgical Liaison programs, require a minimum commitment of nine months to one year of service.
