Volunteers on our pediatric floor have three main responsibilities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Patient and family interaction –<\/strong> Volunteers play a vital role in normalizing the hospital environment for patients and their families.\u00a0 Whether it is watching a movie in the patient’s room or playing a game in the playroom or providing parents with a drink and a snack, the main role of our volunteers is to help provide connection with patients and families.<\/li>\n
  2. Cleaning toys<\/strong> – We need to make sure toys are clean and safe for patient’s to be able to use. We love having volunteers help us clean toys.<\/li>\n
  3. Helping with projects –<\/strong> Sometimes there are projects that we have volunteers help us complete. Often these projects help us to organize and have easy access to materials to provide child life services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anyone who would like to volunteer can follow the process outlined here at the Utah Valley Volunteer Website.<\/a>\u00a0 They do need to be aware that they will be making a commitment to volunteer once a week for six months.\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong>The first three months will be at our information desk and then they can volunteer on the pediatric floor if they would like.<\/p>\n

    Thanks for being willing to spread the word.\u00a0 We absolutely love working with BYU students.\u00a0 If there are any other volunteer opportunities that arise, I will let you know so you can pass it on.<\/p>\n
