HCMC is the place to volunteer! 

As a Level 1 Trauma Center and a safety net for the community, Hennepin County Medical Center offers a broad range of experiences to fulfill your personal goals for volunteering. 

As a large medical center, there are positions in many different departments with opportunities behind the scenes, working with the public, working with patients, supporting staff, and assisting families.

Volunteering at HCMC gives you the opportunity to work within our community of diverse volunteers, staff, visitors and patients.  As a volunteer you will help supplement and enhance hospital services and programs — you will make a difference.

Most volunteers schedule a 3-4 hour shift once per week for 3-6 months.  A coordinator will work with you to find a position that fits your schedule and your interests from among our openings.  Daytime, evening and weekend hours are available.

Volunteering is a great way to...

• Gain career experience during educational programs
• Become acquainted with the hospital environment
• Give something back to the community
• Address the needs of others
• Work with others or meet new people
• Make a difference
• Continue a past connection with the medical center
• Gain experiences and references for future job applications
• Learn new things and have new experiences
