Valley View, an independent, not-for-profit health system based in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is pleased to accept applications for junior volunteers. Volunteers play a key role in the healing presence and culture of Valley View and the need for volunteers is great, and the rewards are even greater.

Junior volunteering is a wonderful opportunity for young people to learn to work with others in a healthcare setting while making the needs of others a priority. If a junior volunteer is accepted, they will gain valuable skills in caring for others, and community service hours to note for scholarship and college applications.

Volunteer opportunities at Valley View include information desks, acute care, physical therapy, gift shop, Threads of Love, musical volunteers, day surgery, endoscopy, Family Birthplace, Roaring Fork Family Practice, valet and special events and projects.

Requirements for participation include:

• Must be 15 years of age.
• Application received before May 6, 2024.
• Complete an interview with the volunteer coordinator.
• Read/sign the "Parent/Student Commitment" and "Professional Appearance Guidelines.”
• Submit two references who are not relatives.
• Provide a copy of immunization records on the day of the TB test and drug screening.
