Summer Junior Volunteers

High school students in the Cullman area have the opportunity to learn more about health care careers with Cullman Regional’s unique summer volunteer program for students ages 15 to 18. 

The Junior Volunteer Program takes place each June and July for six weeks. Volunteers are placed in various departments throughout the hospital, based on career and departmental interests.
