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: This year will look different. We are not able to offer a weekly summer volunteer program for high school students. However, we will be offering single-day volunteer opportunities for high school students only!
Summer 2024 information and details:
-
The single-day volunteer opportunities will be offered once per month during June, July and August.

Sign-ups will begin on May 1 and can be found on this page.

All single-day volunteer opportunities will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
