Volunteers Are Essential

The vision of Seattle Children’s is to be the best children’s hospital. In order to be the best, we must work with the best people. That’s where you come in. You have the opportunity to join an impressive team of volunteers at the heart of Seattle Children’s.

As a volunteer, you can help us to achieve our mission to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease.

Since 1907, volunteers have supported our efforts to serve our region’s most vulnerable populations. Volunteers serve in many capacities: they provide clerical and office support, greet and direct patients and visitors, monitor the therapy pool, play therapeutic games with children, staff the gift shop and serve as advocates for our hospital and for our patients and their families.
