We’re excited you’re interested in giving your time and talents to serve others. To help guide your application process, please review the descriptions below and select the option that best fits your goals and availability.

Adult Volunteer Application - TriHealth System

For adults who are seeking to make an ongoing commitment of six months or more. Adult volunteers typically serve on a weekly basis and are integrated into a variety of hospital service areas based on interest, availability, and organizational needs. 

Attend orientation at Bethesda North or Good Samaritan Hospitals; sessions are 2.5 hours, typically offered twice a month. You may attend Orientation at either location to volunteer across the system.

Student Volunteering

Our Student Volunteering Program offers high school and college students (ages 15+) an opportunity to serve while aligning with academic calendars. Participants join seasonal cohorts and commit to one shift per week during their chosen session.

Cohort Options:

• Spring: January – April
• Summer: June – August
• Fall: September – December

Each cohort is structured around school schedules and breaks. Placement is limited, and orientation dates and onboarding timelines vary by hospital and region. Apply early. 

Orientation availability is listed in the application for your selected region. If no dates appear, all slots are currently full. In that case, indicate “waitlist applicant” in your application.

Note: A parent or guardian must attend orientation for new volunteers ages 15–17.

We require proof of 2 MMR vaccinations (Measles, Mumps, & Rubella), 2 Varicella immunizations or proof of having had chickenpox, a 2-step TB skin test or a TB blood test (T-SPOT or QFT) within the last 12 months and the annual flu vaccine during flu season. If you have not had recent TB testing, this will be provided at no cost if completed through Employee Health. You can work ahead by obtaining a copy of your immunization records and contacting an Employee Health location to schedule your appointment. If you do not have a copy of your immunizations, this is not a barrier to volunteer. Employee Health will work with you on your clearance by obtaining blood titers to check for immunity. The medical clearance step is not required to attend orientation.
