The program currently has over 80 active volunteers donating a
minimum of three hours per week to the hospital. Volunteers come
from the surrounding communities: Bedford, Bedford Heights, Macedonia,
Maple Heights, Northfield, Sagamore Hills, Solon, Twinsburg, and
Walton Hills.
During
the summer months, June through August, a Junior Volunteer Program
is implemented. Letters describing the program along with applications
are mailed to all local middle schools and high schools early in May. Interested
students between the ages of 14 and 18 are matched with departments
according to hours available, assigned duties, and required skills. A department
representative supervises the student and tracks the number of hours volunteered
by the student. Students receive a Certificate of Community Service at the
end of the program that verifies the numbers of hours they worked.
Community Service hours are often a requirement for graduation.
