Volunteer Services
Volunteer programs are designed for one simple, but very important purpose - to serve our patients and their families.  Volunteers share the philosophy that it is a privilege to be of service to others.  Fairview volunteers touch the lives of patients in many ways, and a variety of opportunities throughout the children's hospital are available.  Your preferences will be considered when determining your volunteer placement, but our priority is to place volunteers in areas with the greatest need.  Learn about the many ways to volunteer your time and talents!
