FYI.  This is from a Hunter student who was kind enough to provide you with
this information.

 I was hoping that you would be willing to post this volunteer opportunity
(below) with New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital. I
have been volunteering in the inpatient Child Life program for the past
several months and it has been an awesome experience. I've learned a lot and
had the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped to improve pediatric
patient outcomes by normalizing the experience of these children and
adolescents through play and companionship. There is plenty of personalized
support for volunteers, too, which makes this a very attractive opportunity
for Hunter students.


Thanks,

NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital volunteers provide
vital assistance to our patients, families and healthcare professionals.
Throughout the Hospital, volunteers can be found lending a helpful hand by
running errands, providing information to parents whose children are in the
emergency room or undergoing surgery, welcoming patients and families to the
Child Life playrooms, organizing toys and play materials, or visiting on the
units. Volunteers can assist with children in the clinic waiting areas,
serve as role models in the literacy programs and offer our families much
needed comfort and support. 

There are volunteer opportunities available in the following areas:

Child Life (inpatient and outpatient areas - including Oncology,
Cardiology/Neurology and general Med/Surgery), Same Day Surgery, Pediatric
Intensive Care Unit, Diagnostic Suite, Community Literacy Program (for
emergent and health literacy), The Sibling Program and more.
