Be a part of the Volunteer Team

SHC-Greenville volunteers are important. With the help of volunteers, the Greenville Shriners Hospital has provided the very best pediatric orthopaedic care to nearly 50,000 children since opening in 1927, all at no cost to our patients' families.

SHC-Greenville volunteers are needed. The hospital could not achieve its mission of providing the best health care for children possible without volunteers. Volunteers are needed to serve in departments throughout the hospital assisting with patient care, clerical duties, and special services. The volunteer services department strives to match volunteers with assignments suited to the volunteer�s individual talents and interests.

SHC-Greenville volunteers are appreciated. Making a difference in the life of a child is a precious gift volunteers bring to our patients. Although there is no way to adequately thank volunteers for all they do, in appreciation of their service, volunteers  receive annual service awards, free annual flu shots, annual events and outings, meals at the hospital while volunteering, and a monthly volunteer newsletter.

For the protection of our patients, volunteers are screened thoroughly before being placed. This includes written reference checks, a personal interview and background checks.

All volunteers go through an orientation to make sure they are familiar with hospital policies. Some positions require special instruction and on-the-job training.
