Step 1: Complete VolunTEEN demographics form
Completing the application will give you access to the Volunteer Information Center (VIC), required for step two.
VolunTEEN
Due to the immense interest in our Gainesville VolunTEEN program, not all applicants that apply will be accepted. Our summer program has limited placement opportunities.
This program is only for UF Heath Gainesville. If interested in volunteering at UF Health Jacksonville, please call (904) 244-4271 or visit ufhealthjax.org/volunteer as that program is managed separately.
Please complete the VolunTEEN application process in the following order:
Step 2: Sign up for mandatory Information Session
Sign up for a mandatory Information Session by logging in to the Volunteer Information Center (VIC). All VolunTEEN applicants and one parent/guardian, must attend this information session.
Step 3: Invitation to complete remaining requirements
After attending the Information Session, you will be invited to complete the remaining VolunTEEN application requirements. Details and additional information will be provided at the information session.
Acceptance
Acceptance into the Summer VolunTEEN Program is based on review of application, interview by the VolunTEEN selection panel, timely receipt of completed application packet, and the ability to meet volunteer requirements.
