Become a Hospital Volunteer

Volunteers are a vital part of St. Jude Medical Center. That’s why St. Jude offers opportunities for service that accommodate the schedules of working adults, students and retirees. Some of our volunteers work directly with patients, while others provide invaluable assistance in support areas or with special projects.

You’ll meet our volunteers helping out in a variety of places, including one of the hospital departments, the Knott Family Endoscopy Center, the St. Jude Medical Plaza, St. Jude Centers for Rehabilitation and Wellness, and more.

Three separate groups support the hospital’s commitment to superior and compassionate medical care:

  • Student Volunteers (high school and college students) provide support to patients, visitors and staff, from the nursing units to the information desks. The minimum age requirement is 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. 
  • Guild Members provide support to patients, visitors and staff, from the nursing units to the information desks, as well as support the St. Jude Gift Shop.
  • Resource Volunteers—adults who work or have limited time—give service through our Spiritual Care Department serving as Eucharistic Ministers; Pet Therapy volunteers; Cancer Center Library volunteers and other volunteer opportunities as available.
