Volunteer

Volunteers make a significant impact - not only are the people that you help impacted, but the people who reach out to help someone else are also changed for the better. There is not just one choice about what you can pursue as a volunteer project. Community service opportunities are as different as each individual who decides they want to help make a difference in the world around them. The sky is the limit and I encourage you to find something that inspires you.

For those of you who are interested in summer volunteer opportunities at a hospital, I thought it might help you if I mentioned that the Ohio State University Medical Center allows high school students to volunteer during the summer. (They only utilize college students as volunteers during the school year, but are willing to work with high school students in the summertime.) Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. They have stringent timelines to apply and interview for a volunteer position.  If you are interested in applying, visit their website for an application and additional information.
