Our volunteer program application process will be restart on April 2. We appreciate your interest in volunteering on the Sharp Metropolitan Medical campus in Kearny Mesa.

We are so happy you're interested in volunteering with us. To maintain the quality of our program, our volunteers must meet a few minimum requirements.

Requirements for adult volunteers.

• Dedicate a minimum of 100 hours of volunteer service
• Commit to at least one shift per week for the same day, time and length (usually two to four hours)
• Attend a 45-minute online volunteer information session and participate in ongoing training
• Purchase a one- or two-piece uniform
• Complete a health screening including TB testing; if invited, you will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine but it is not required to volunteer

If your application is accepted, you will be invited to register for an informational session. Attendance at this session is a requirement within the selection process. After the session, you can sign up for an interview.

If you are invited to join our team after your interview, you will need to complete a health screening before your volunteer position begins.

Requirements for high school volunteers.

We are not currently accepting applications from high school students. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to process applications and place new volunteers into roles at this time. We will post information on this page when it becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

If you are graduating in the spring of 2021, we recommend you apply to our adult program after you graduate and turn 18. We do not offer summer-only volunteer opportunities for students.

Please review the following requirements:

• Minimum GPA of 3.25 (unweighted) and no D's within the last year
• Must provide official grade transcript for last two full semesters
• Must be at least 15 years old
• Commit to a minimum of 100 hours of service with three-hour shifts scheduled the same day, time and one shift per week; maintain an attendance rate of 80% or higher
• Attend a 45-minute online volunteer program information session
