College Volunteer Program

COVID-19 Notice

Health and safety are our top priorities at ChristianaCare. We will continue to provide the exceptional care our patients and families have come to expect from us every day. While the College Volunteer Program is scheduled to take place this summer, it will be adjusted to minimize in-person contact to protect our employees, volunteers, and patients. Thank you for your understanding.

The College Volunteer Program at ChristianaCare offers a variety of ways for college-age students to make a difference through service to their community. College volunteers are a vital resource, bringing talent and a fresh perspective, and a shared sense of commitment that benefits our patients, families, and caregivers. In exchange, college volunteers will acquire new and innovative skill sets to support them through their school, career, and life journey.
