Recreational Activities for Children
Pet Visitation
Volunteer pet visitation teams provide lots of "puppy love" to patients and their families in the waiting rooms. All dogs must have an annual registration and insurance from a pet visitation accrediting organization. Pets must be bathed within 24 hours of visiting our patients. Teams usually volunteer for a two-hour shift twice a month.
Optional Additional Service: On alternate weeks, volunteers may serve in another capacity during the weeks that they are not bringing their pet to visit.
Lobby Ambassador
Volunteers provide recreational activities to patients in our lobby. If you like to play, do arts and crafts and color, then this is the volunteer position for you. Do you enjoy reading? Share that love with children gathering a group together and reading out loud to the patients.
Clowning Around
If you have previous experience as a clown and want to entertain pediatric patients, you will have a new volunteer home at ÌÇÐÄVlog. Whether you do hand and face painting, perform magic tricks or tell funny stories, your talents are sure to delight children of all ages.
Way Finder
Greet patients and families as they leave their appointment and escort them for a special treat. Answer their general questions and help families find their way around the clinic.
