High School Student
The high school volunteer program in Eau Claire and other communities provides students ages 14–18 with experience in a health care setting. While volunteering, your duties may include transporting patients to and from appointments.
This program is extremely competitive, so not everyone who applies and interviews will be accepted. Students invited to participate will be placed in service areas based on need and qualifications.
High school students who are considering a career as a physician are invited to apply to the MedEx program after completing required volunteer hours.
Note: All volunteers must be vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to starting a volunteer role.
