Thank you for your interest in participating in Schneck’s summer Junior Volunteer Program.

Important Dates:
May 28, 2015 – Mandatory registration in Classroom 3 (just inside the Visitor’s Entrance)
anytime between 5 and 7 p.m. Bring with you all required paperwork, receive a tuberculin skin
test (TST), purchase your polo for $15, and receive your volunteer handbook. You must have all
required paperwork turned in that evening to participate in the program.
June 4, 2015 – Mandatory information session from 12 to 4 p.m. in Classroom 3. You will also

Please review the following mandatory program guidelines. (Some guidelines are new for 2015.)

 You must be able to complete at least 28 volunteer hours throughout the summer. This

junior volunteer).
 You must submit a letter of recommendation from a current school teacher, pastor, etc.
 You must be available to have both of the TSTs read between 48 and 72 hours after

test this year.
 You may request a specific area to volunteer. We will try to accommodate your request
based upon area need.
 Our summer schedule begins Monday, June 8, 2015.
The guidelines and dates are mandatory in order for the volunteer program to accommodate
the influx of junior volunteers. No exceptions will be made.
The Schneck Guild award up to three $1,000 scholarships annually to graduating seniors that
have been past junior volunteers and plan on pursuing a career in healthcare. Qualifying
applicants may apply in March 2016. More information will be available on Schneck’s website
