High School Student Volunteer

Explore volunteer opportunities


High school student volunteers support the Children’s Mercy staff, as well as help make the experience here a positive one for patients, families and visitors.

Each opportunity uniquely supports our mission to transform the lives of kids cared for at Children’s Mercy.

Year-round: Currently, we do not have year-round opportunities available for high school students.

Summer: Check back in spring of 2025 to learn more about our summer 2025 volunteer opportunities available for high school students.
