Volunteering and Shadowing Opportunities
Sign ups for teen programs will be updated and opened at each program's discretion. Check back starting in March to see which ones you can start signing up for!
Scott & White Junior Volunteer Explorer Program
This is a 4 week volunteering and shadowing program at the Scott and White in Round Rock. It begins in the beginning of June and is a bit more competitive than the other teen programs in the area.
St. David's Summer Volunteer Program
North Austin
Round Rock
These are 4 week volunteer programs at the North Austin and Round Rock locations of the St. David's hospitals. This program may also be offered at a few other St. David's locations near us, however these two are the closest. This program is more volunteer oriented and great for someone wanting community service, but does not really allow students to shadow doctors.
Seton Summer Volunteer Program
The Seton Summer Volunteer Program is an 8 week volunteer program offered at various Seton locations near us. This program is more volunteer oriented - students will volunteer in both clinical and nonclinical areas of the hospital.
UT Summer Research Program
This program is for incoming juniors and seniors offered by researchers in the College of Natural Sciences at UT. The High School Research Academy offers two programs: Research Methods and Research Academy. Research Methods is a 4 week program that introduces students to the thought process and the scientific method needed to conduct a research project of their own design. Research Academy is generally only for students who have completed the previous program and who can dedicate at least 5 or more weeks of their summer to be integrated into the ongoing research project's in the faculty laboratory.
Sundance Premier Memory Center
The memory care center is a nursing facility for elderly citizens who suffer from Alzheimer's and various forms of dementia in Cedar Park.
