Baptist East offers the Junior Volunteer program for teens ages 14 through 18 during the summer months only.

Junior volunteers are required to attend a day-long orientation in June and then are assigned to work one day a week for eight weeks. The program ends in mid- to late August.

Junior Volunteers contribute some 5,000 hours every summer by helping out in nursing units, Central Processing, Materials Management, Physical Therapy, the Child Development Center and many other areas of the hospital. The program provides teens with the experience of working in a hospital, as well as a good reference for their first jobs.

Baptist East's Junior Volunteer program is the state's largest.

For more information, or an application (due in mid-spring), call Baptist Hospital East's Volunteer department at (502) 897-8249 or mail to bhevolunteers@bhsi.com.
