Volunteer Program

Parkland Volunteer & Guest Services:
Opportunities to learn, grow, and serve your community.

You’re the kind of person who always thinks there’s more you can do. You like to help out any way you can, no matter the money or recognition. You’ll find just what you’re looking for as a volunteer at Parkland. Our volunteers are touching people’s lives every day—really making a difference. They’re gaining valuable experience, expanding their skills and meeting new people. And best of all, they’re helping our patients heal faster through kindness, friendship, and better quality care.

Summer Program
If you’re a student living at home for the summer, we have a special summer program that may be just right for you. Summer volunteers must be at least 14 years old. High school age volunteers may help out Monday thru Friday, 8am to 4pm, while college age and older may volunteer 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Summer Group Orientation begins in June.
