WakeMed Junior Volunteering

WakeMed Volunteer Services offers an opportunity for high school students 16 to 18 to apply when openings become available. Applications for each campus will open only when there are open positions. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. All applications will be reviewed in consideration of available junior openings.

Applications for students to apply will open as positions become available. Please check back periodically to apply.

The goal of the WakeMed Volunteer Services Department High School Junior Volunteer Program is to provide high school students with exposure to a hospital setting and an opportunity to give back to their community. The High School Junior Program is not a volunteer opportunity and is considered an internship or shadowing experience.

The goal of this program is to provide hands-on volunteer experience that meets the current needs of the hospital. Each Junior Volunteer at the Raleigh Campus will begin as a Guest Ambassador in order to learn the facility and feel comfortable in the healthcare environment prior to moving into other placement areas of interest. Junior Volunteers are placed at all other facilities according to service needs and availability. To be considered for a Junior Volunteer position, you must be age 16 or older on the date the application portals open.

Raleigh Campus, Cary Hospital, and North Hospital Junior Volunteer portals will open on the dates listed on the website if there are opportunities for junior volunteers at that location.
