Volunteering with UNC Health
The mission of the Volunteer Services Department is to assist UNC Health in its goals to provide comprehensive health care to the communities we serve and give a meaningful outlet for the human need to be of service to others. Our service areas include the UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill, the Hillsborough Campus, and surrounding clinics.
Volunteer Opportunities
See full list of Volunteer Opportunities. This list includes all of our Triangle volunteer positions. Please remember not all opportunities listed may be available at this time. As part of the volunteer onboarding process you will talk with a volunteer coordinator about what placements may be a good fit for you.
Tar Heal Paws
Tar Heal Paws is an animal assisted activities and therapy program that delivers support and companionship for patients and visitors at UNC Hospitals and outlying areas. The purpose of this program is to provide patients, family members and staff the opportunity to interact with animals, and reduce stress associated with hospitalization. Become a part of the Tar Heal Paws.
Other Volunteer Opportunities
UNC Hospice volunteers come from various backgrounds and life experiences. Their reasons for joining our team are as varied as their lives, but they all share a strong send of compassion and desire to lesson the burden of others. The many skills they have to offer are matched to important work within our hospice program.
