Summer Teen Volunteer Program

Volunteering is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. As a volunteer, you can meet new people, gain new experiences and learn and develop new skills. Volunteering provides a way to support Grady and connect you to your community, so you can help to make it a better place.

Volunteering is not an internship or a shadow program. It’s also not an opportunity to get clinical experience. As a volunteer, you are not allowed to participate in direct patient care. We do not accept volunteers who are court ordered to perform community service.

No, we do not accept volunteers who are court ordered to perform community service.

You must first complete the online application form. Once you have applied online, download the application packet, complete and return all the required documents to Grady’s Volunteer Services.

Once all application packets have been reviewed and processed, we will contact you for an interview. During the interview, we’ll talk about your availability, what volunteering you’ d like to do, then work on placement and take your picture for your ID Badge.

All volunteers are required to attend a volunteer orientation session.  At orientation, you will learn in detail about what we expect from you as a volunteer at Grady and give you important information about Fire Safety, Patient Confidentiality, Infection Control, and Police and Security. You’ll also be given a tour of the hospital.  All of these procedures are in place to ensure a safe and healthy environment for you, our patients and their families.

Please call the Volunteer Services Department at (404) 616-4360 or e-mail Kimberly Wallace at [email protected] if you have questions.
