High School Program
At this time, Hunterdon Health is not accepting applications for our High School Volunteer Program. Please join our waitlist if you are interested in future opportunities.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Hunterdon Health. Volunteers are an important part of our team and we appreciate everyone who gives the gift of their time.
The High School Volunteer Program is a vital part of Hunterdon Health and provides an extra dimension of care and service to our patients, staff, and community.
Our mission is to recruit, train, and place highly committed volunteers who have demonstrated they are compassionate, enthusiastic, and responsible. We require our high school volunteers to:
Be 15 to 18 years old (must have completed ninth grade)
Commit to 100 hours over one-year, preferably working the same shift every week.
Manage all communication on behalf of themselves in the application process.
Teen volunteer opportunities are available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, seven days a week. Shifts range from two to four hours depending on the position and the department's needs. We are looking for a select group of students who will make a year- long commitment, not just summer-time or holiday participation. Please note: We fully support family and academic priorities, and will work to accommodate a schedule that works for the volunteer throughout the year.
Following is an outline of the steps required to become a volunteer. Please note: All correspondence must be from the applicant directly.
- Join our waitlist - Waitlist Form
- Application Form - When we have available positions, you will be sent a link to our application. If your application is accepted, you will be invited to interview, and additional information will be requested.

Please understand that submission of the application packet and an interview does not ensure placement as a volunteer. Should you have any questions along the way, please feel free to reach out to me at kkelleher@hhsnj.org.
