Year-Round Opportunities (for senior level high school students)

Kingston General Hospital does not provide learning placements for secondary school co-op placement but does have year round opportunities for senior level students who would like to gain hospital related experience.

Café Host (year-round for all high school grades)

If you’re looking for valuable work experience in a busy customer service setting, you may want to consider volunteering at the Kingston General Hospital Auxiliary Café. You need to be self-motivated, hard-working and able to commit to one shift each week on a Saturday or Sunday. Weekday shifts are also available during the summer months.

Volunteering at KGH requires a personal desire to make a commitment.

We are looking for young people who are comfortable spending time with both seniors and children, that like to get involved in activities and that can share their enthusiasm with others.

“I’ve always been fascinated with the medical field but I’ve also had a phobia of hospitals,” he says. “At first I was a bit apprehensive but I found that once I got my bearings here I thrived.” Logan – high school volunteer at KGH since June 2009
