Piedmont Athens Regional teen volunteers
Teen volunteers
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2026.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center. I realize summers are busy times for teens and I think it is wonderful that you are considering sharing a part of yours with us! Please remember you must be 16 years old by June 1st and hold a grade point average of 3.0 or higher to be considered for this year’s program.
The online application will ask for information about you, contact information for an emergency contact/guardian, and your tentative availability. You will need to provide information on any relevant work or volunteer experience. You will also be asked to write a brief essay on your interest in healthcare and what you hope to gain from volunteering with us.
You will need to provide contact information for your school guidance counselor (to confirm your GPA and give limited feedback) as well as 2 non-familial references. One of your references must be a teacher. The other can be an additional teacher, the guidance counselor, a mentor, an employer/supervisor, or someone else who can speak to your character and work ethic. Piedmont Athens Regional Volunteer Services will reach out to your references.
If needed, we will be conducting web-based and in-person interviews in late February.
You will be notified if you are or are not accepted into the program by April 15th. If you are accepted, you will be contacted about scheduling and placement options.
To participate in the teen volunteer program, you must be able to:
1) Attend a mandatory orientation session (3 options for attendees will be available).
2) Volunteer one 4-hour shift per week (the same day and time each week) for at least 6 of the 8 weeks of the program. The program begins June 1st and ends July 31st.
3) Pay a $25 program fee.
4) Complete a TB blood test.
5) Provide proof of Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella vaccinations or a titers test showing immunity.
Thank you so much for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
