Playroom Volunteer

PLEASE NOTE: We have two playrooms at Primary Children’s. An inpatient playroom (Kids Crew) and an outpatient playroom (Kids Clubhouse) this application is for both departments. Upon being offered a volunteer position you will be placed in one of those playrooms based on your schedule and each department’s needs.

The job description below provides an overview of both playrooms, but job duties will vary slightly for each space.

Job Description and Activities:

In the playrooms we see families from all walks of life all with different backgrounds and unique health challenges. The mix of children, ages, and medical conditions is constantly changing throughout the day. One of the most important aspects of volunteering is helping to create a positive experience for patients and families through play and activities.

As a playroom volunteer you will be interacting with patients and families in a variety of capacities. Rather you are in the playroom playing games, making crafts, taking out the activity cart or delivering items to patient rooms, each day will be different.

Volunteers assist in all tasks related to the playroom including cleaning toys, replenishing supplies, making craft kits, cleaning wheelchairs and wagons, etc. Each shift will be different, and volunteers will need to be flexible and able to respond well to a variety of responsibilities and assignments.

Shifts are 3 hours in length and volunteers will be assigned one shift a week. We ask that volunteers commit to 100 hours of volunteer service.

Volunteers will be selected based on availability and qualifications.
