Youth Volunteer Opportunities at Children’s

Young Friends is an introductory philanthropy experience for children ages 5 to 14 or in kindergarten to eighth grade. Young Friends have the opportunity to learn about philanthropy and ways to support Children's through a self-guided service project workbook. Participants should explore their passions and collaborate with a Volunteer Services coordinator to gain project approval.

Note: There is no patient interaction due to the hospital’s safety and infection control guidelines.

If your child is interested in this opportunity, please contact Nick Klos.

The Scouts Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is currently on pause for program maintenance and enhancements. During this time, we are reviewing and updating the program to better serve our patients, families and community partners.

We expect the Scouts Program to resume in Spring 2027.

Please check back for updates closer to that time. Thank you for your understanding and for your interest in supporting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

We know that our teen patients can bring unique insights into the care we provide. Children’s is tapping into this resource with its Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a collaborative venture with current and former patients between the ages of 13 and 17 years old. This council gives them a formal opportunity to help us enhance the care we provide to kids and teens.
