Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at Hunterdon Health. Volunteers are an important part of our team and help us in many ways. We appreciate everyone who gives us the gift of their time. Wherever you volunteer, you will make a difference!
The Summer College Volunteer Program is a vital part of Hunterdon Health as the volunteers provide that extra dimension of care and service to our patients, dedicated staff, and the community. Our mission is to recruit, train and place committed volunteers who have demonstrated they are compassionate, enthusiastic, and responsible individuals. Summer college volunteers are asked to make a dependable time commitment of 2-4 shifts per week for a minimum of 100 hours of service over the summer. The shifts will range from four to eight hours depending on the position, your schedule and the department's needs. This commitment allows summer college volunteers to make a real impact on their assigned area and provides the greatest opportunity for personal satisfaction. Volunteers that fulfill their commitment will receive a verification letter of hours and be invited to return over winter break.
Please use the link below to access the documents that you would need to return to become eligible for a position with our program. Take the time to review, complete, and sign all the forms. You may find it easiest to print them first. Application can be mailed, emailed or dropped off when completed. Completed application packets are due by April 20th.
For your convenience, this is a checklist of what will need to be completed:
- Application Form
- Health Clearance Form to be completed by your Primary Care Physician (Annual Influenza vaccination is mandatory for this program and must be completed prior to submitting the Health Form during the months of September thru mid-April)
- Copy of COVID Vaccination Documentation (Documentation must include Lot #'s and vaccine manufacturer. Complete attached declination if you have not been vaccinated, or have not been fully vaccinated with the 1st & 2nd dose, plus booster)
- Three Confidential References (preferably not a family member)
Once your completed application packet has been received and reviewed, you will be contacted to inform you of your status and to schedule an interview. The interview will help establish if the applicant’s skills, attitude and capabilities align with Hunterdon Health’s needs, mission and values. Please understand that submission of the application packet and an interview does not ensure placement as a volunteer. If selected to become a volunteer: your health information will be forwarded to our Occupational Health Department for approval, a background check will be completed through Volunteer Resources, and you will be invited to attend new volunteer orientation. When these requirements have been met you will be cleared to begin volunteering.
Should you have any questions along the way, please feel free to reach out to Karen DiPaola, Director of Volunteer Resources at kdipaola@hhsnj.org.
