Volunteer Opportunities

 Children's Hospital Los Angeles is asking for volunteers to:

• Assisting in hospital playrooms (and sometimes at the bedside)
• Playing board games 
• Reading to children (requires 10 hours of individual training)

According to CHLA," Volunteering outside of our hospital is also an important way to help our patients. You can start your own fundraising effort to involve your friends, family and community:

• Start an online fundraising page.
• Host a community fundraising event.

The Volunteer requirements are:

• At least 15 years old
• 18 years of age to work directly with patients
• In good physical and mental health
• Able to communicate well in English (second language skills are a plus)
• Willing to volunteer one 3-4 hour shift for 8 consecutive weeks as a patient/family escort.
