How Can I Volunteer at Children's?

At Children’s, our mission is to make kids better today and healthier tomorrow. From assisting with patient care to customer service and administrative support, our dedicated team of hospital volunteers is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re helping at the gift shop, making a delivery to a patient’s room or interacting at the bedside, you will positively affect a family’s hospital experience.

Support Children's From Home

While in-person volunteer opportunities are currently more limited, there are still many ways you can help from the comfort of home. Your donations will help fuel, clothe and entertain patients and families during their visit or stay in one of our hospitals.

How you can help:

  1. Decide which Children’s hospital you’d like to support: Egleston, Hughes Spalding or Scottish Rite
  2. Decide how you want to help:
    • Host a toy drive 
    • Assemble craft kits and create other activities for patients
    • Provide meal kits or grocery items for the food pantry
    • Donate pajama packs or family care kits
    • Provide shout-outs for staff
  3. Have your donation pre-approved to help make sure you are meeting our hospital’s most urgent needs. Contact the volunteer coordinator at the hospital you’d like to support for specific guidelines. 

Join Our Family and Youth Advisory Councils

We know that the parents of our patients can bring unique insights to the care we provide. Children’s is tapping into this resource with its Family Advisory Council (FAC) and Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a collaborative venture with parents that gives them a formal opportunity to help us enhance our caregiving efforts.

Thank you for your interest in the Family Advisory Council. We are not accepting applications for our Family Advisory Council at this time. Please check back for future opportunities.

Thank you for your interest in the Youth Advisory Council (YAC). We are not accepting applications for our Youth Advisory Council at this time. Please check back for future opportunities.
