School Year High School Volunteer Program
Our application for the current school year is closed.
We will begin accepting applications for the next school year on August 18, 2025. Availability for positions may be variable. Late afternoon (after 4pm), evening and weekend positions are very limited.
High School Seniors who would like to complete their senior project at NWH during the spring of 2026 and have availability to volunteer on weekdays before 4 p.m. should call the Volunteer Office at 617-243-6048 to inquire about senior project placement availability starting in January, 2026
General information
Our staff members and volunteers all make mutual commitments to provide quality service. Because of the time we spend to train our volunteers, we expect a minimum of 2-4 hours of volunteer service each week, depending on individual assignments. This is equivalent to a total minimum commitment of 50 hours over 1 year.
- Students will also need to submit a ‘Minor Authorization to Volunteer’ form. This should be uploaded into the application when applying online.
- Applicants for the High School Volunteer Program must be 15 years old at the time of application.
- Once your application has been submitted, call our office at 617-243-6048 between the hours of 8:30 and 5:30 p.m., Monday – Friday, to request to be added to the waitlist.
- Once you reach the top of the wait list, we will contact you via email with instructions on how to schedule your interview. You may call the office at 617-243-6048 to schedule a volunteer interview. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 – 5:30 p.m.
