Western New York is home to over 45 colleges and universities all conveniently located around our various Catholic Health Ministries. This allows a variety of college students the flexibility to explore volunteer opportunities that may assist future career choices. Several of our health centers are easily accessed by public transit, making our campuses very accessible to students without personal transportation.
We understand the demands of academia and have designed this program to work with each person’s schedule individually as needed, plus volunteering is not limited to just hospital based activities. Student volunteers at Catholic Health can experience a wide variety of health related careers including IT, business, legal, quality and safety, and administrative programs.
