Why Volunteer?
Volunteering at Kapi'olani provides many rewarding benefits:
What would I do as a volunteer?
There are many volunteer opportunities available throughout our facilities:
- Kapi'olani Medical Center at Pali Momi
- Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children
- Kapi'olani Women's Center
Many volunteers work directly with patients, assisting staff in transporting, visiting or reading to patients. Our volunteers also provide valuable support in non-patient care areas assisting with hospital tours, typing, data entry, filing and answering phones. The information desk, patient care units, playroom and gift shop are just a few of the areas where volunteers can provide assistance.
What does it take to be a Kapi'olani volunteer?
We're looking for individuals with:
- positive attitude
- open mindedness and flexibility
- maturity and respect for others
- genuine desire to help others
- sincere interest in Kapi'olani
Volunteers must also be at least 16 years old, and commit to working a regular weekly schedule for three to six months.
