From Mrs. Cathy McCoy, School Counselor:
SOMC is in search of teens who are interested in volunteering for SOMC’s Summer Junior Volunteer Program. This exciting program offers teens a first-hand experience of working in the healthcare field and also provides community service hours for school requirements.
This program runs from June 12-August 4 and requires a minimum of 2-4 hours per week from each volunteer. Junior Volunteers are responsible for many tasks including running errands, helping in various departments, as well as clerical duties. After gaining valuable work experience, the junior volunteers are rewarded for their diligent efforts with a letter of recommendation and a certificate of completion.
Last year, more than 40 local students participated in the program and more than 50 applications came through the Volunteer Services Department.
Students age 15-18 may apply for the program. The deadline for applications is Monday, May 8, 2017. Packets for application are available in the Guidance Office for those interested in applying for this year’s program. For further information contact the guidance office or SOMC Volunteer Services Department at 740-356-8234.
