Boston Medical Center Junior Summer Volunteer Program

Boston Medical Center is pleased to once again offer a Junior Summer Volunteer Program (JSVP) for rising juniors and seniors in high school! This program will allow students to gain valuable knowledge and insight into the patient’s care experience at BMC through interactive engagement and consultation with the hospital and clinical professionals.

Eligible participants of this program must be entering their junior or senior year of high school and are able to commit to the full 8 weeks of the program. Strong applicants for the program will be reliable, committed, and eager to learn about the hospital and healthcare setting. Must have a positive attitude and be open to learning from new experiences.

All inquiries about the Summer Program and correspondence with Volunteer Services in regards to application status should be made by the candidate themselves.

Program Overview
Each participant will commit to at least one recurring 3-hour shift of volunteering on-campus for the duration of the summer.

In addition to volunteering, there will also be a weekly lecture series, delivered by various Boston Medical Center Health Systems professionals. Past lecturers have included surgeons, physicians, nurses, social workers, and healthcare administrators.

Both the volunteering and the lectures are designed to help participants learn the inner workings of a hospital and to further explore career options within the field of healthcare. The program concludes at the end of the 8 weeks on Friday, August 16th, with a final celebration of the program’s completion.

This year, JSVP is accepting 40 students. Preference is given to Boston residents.
