Volunteers serve in many capacities at Vanderbilt University Hospital.  If you are interested in being considered as a VUH volunteer and you are 18 years of age or older, we ask you to commit to a two or three hour volunteer shift, once a week, for six months (minimum of 48 hours).  We have weekday, limited evening, and limited weekend volunteer opportunities available.
