Summer High School Volunteer Program

Family House is seeking motivated High School students who are looking to make a difference in the lives of families with a child receiving treatment at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. If you are a high school student looking for a summer volunteer opportunity, our 6-week Family House Summer Volunteer Program might be a perfect match for you! The program will be hosted on site at Family House this year. However, if conditions change the program will be transitioned to online and meetings will take place over Zoom.

Are you interested in working with children and families? Volunteering at Family House is a great way to make a difference in your community, discover a new interest, make new friends, and have fun! Each week students will participate in activities including; engaging with families, collaborating with peers and Family House staff, assisting with administrative & event support, and facilitating daily tasks including large scale projects. If you are interested please fill out a registration form below to get the process started.

Registration opens Monday April 11th, 2022
