We now have a new volunteer program at NYP that a co-worker and I supervise. It's growing fast!
We are looking for students who can commit (starting in August) to 2 semesters of volunteer work. They will be scheduled for 4h/d, and can choose to do one or two days per week. We are looking for volunteers all days M-F and the time slots ~10ish anywhere to 4 or 5ish. We will be starting interviews in May so that the volunteers will be ready and through hospital orientation by August.

Please see below a list of activities they could take part in.  Interested students can email me or Lauren directly with their resume and schedule. I Hope we find some good Hunter students to work with this year!!
