Duke University Hospital has over 30 volunteer programs. After identifying the program you are most interested in, you should contact the coordinator of that program directly to initiate the application process, which includes providing documentation of immunizations and a court release for a background check. You will receive training for the tasks and activities related to your program.
Most programs ask for a commitment of 2 - 4 hours per week for a minimum of one year.
