The Teenage Auxiliary/Volunteer Program
The Teenage Auxiliary/Volunteer Program is the modern-day version of the medical center's Candy Stripers program. Held in the summer, it gives an opportunity for teenagers ages 14-17 to help out in almost every area of the health system; see different aspects of the medical center; gain work experience; and meet others who are also interested in a medical related career. Positions are limited and given out in an Orientation meeting after a mandatory interview at the Human Resources office in the main hospital. Applications are taken January.

Famous quotes containing the words teenage, volunteer and/or program:
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“We should have an army so organized and so officered as to be capable in time of emergency, in cooperation with the National Militia, and under the provision of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respectable expeditionary force if necessary in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monroe.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
