They offer nationwide volunteer opportunities, including
organizations offering relief from the terrorist attacks. For local
opportunities, either call or go to their Website, click on the volunteer
button and follow instructions. It’ll prompt you to enter your zip code. The
search engine pulls up opportunities from a five to 60 mile radius from your
home. If you call them, they send you a newsletter for free. The newsletter has
ideas about places to volunteer.

Teens 15 and older can volunteer here after completing a
three-hour orientation. Only those 18 and older can have direct contact with
the patients. Teens younger than 18 can still help out by greeting patients and
their families at the front desk and doing clerical work. The hospital asks for
a minimum of a six month commitment plus 100 hours of service. Teens work a
minimum of two to four hours a week, depending on the department and can choose
their schedule. After service is completed, the hospital will write a letter to
give students either high school or college credit.
I find this
interesting because you can work and not get paid. So like you can graduate
from high school.
