Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center VolunTeen Program

High School Volunteers

Volunteering is a fun activity, with lots of hospital exposure. However, it is also a serious commitment. VolunTeens provide hundreds of hours of valuable service to our patients, visitors and team members. Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center offers volunteer opportunities for high school students aged 16-18 in a variety of settings, including, but not limited to, customer service, clinical and non-clinical departments, patient transport and wayfinding.

We accept applications for the summer session. Students accepted into the summer program can continue to volunteer during the school year with approval from the Volunteer Services team.

If you are interested in applying for our program, please complete the VolunTeen Application during the open application period and submit all required forms.

Once all forms are received, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. Those accepted into the program will be notified via email with information regarding TB testing and orientation requirements.
