Volunteen applications for the 2025 summer program will be accepted from April 1 through April 30, 2025.

NOTE: If the COVID-19 virus progresses and the hospital has to implement its emergency preparedness program, the Volunteen Program may be cancelled.

UM Charles Regional Medical Center offers a Volunteen Program. This volunteer experience is a great way for a teen who is 15-17 years old (will be a rising high school sophomore, junior or senior for school year 2025-2026) to learn about the health care environment as a possible future career.

The Volunteen Program provides:

  • Experience working in a professional setting at a young age.
  • Exposure to hospital atmosphere to help a teen to consider a career in the health care field. 
  • Excellent reference for future education or job application.
  • Satisfaction in serving human and community needs.
  • Opportunity to obtain further information about career fields.

What will I do as a Volunteen?

Volunteens learn about the hospital setting while assisting staff members and patients. Duties may include assisting clinical staff with patient care duties, performing administrative tasks, providing excellent customer service, and so much more.

You will spend between 4 and 12 hours each week during the summer at the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center.

How do I get involved?

If you are between 15 and 17 years old and have not yet graduated from high school (will be a rising high school sophomore, junior or senior for school year 2025-2026), please fill out the Volunteen Application. You will receive an email request to provide references. References must be returned by May 7, 2025.

We review all applicants to determine eligibility for the program. After May 7th, eligible applicants will receive instructions for setting up an interview so that we can discuss the program, learn more about your interests and answer any questions you may have about the program. 

If you have questions about the Volunteen Program or need assistance, please call 301-609-4095.
