Robert wood johnson summer program for high school students

Program Overview SHPEP offers students a variety of academic and career experiences: Academic enrichment in the basic sciences and quantitative topics. Learning and study skills development, including methods of individual and group learning. Clinical exposure through small-group rotations in health care settings, simulation experiences, and seminars.

Career development sessions are directed toward exploration of the health professions, the admissions process, and the development of an education plan. A financial literacy and planning workshop that informs students of financial principles and management strategies. We listen carefully to prospective volunteers' interests and goals during the interview process and make every effort to place them in positions that will be interesting to them and applicable to their skill set, while still meeting the needs of the hospital.

Every effort is made to place a volunteer in their preferred area, but it is not always possible. The minimum age to volunteer is 15 years of age and a sophomore in high school for the Volunteer program. Adults, including college students, of all ages are welcome to join the Adult program. On average, the entire process takes several weeks. All application requirements must be met prior to starting. Volunteers must wear either khaki pants, dress pants or skirts. A professional, groomed appearance is required for all volunteers at all times.

Adult applicants, including college students, are encouraged to apply online. Find additional information about our adult volunteer program here. Applicants for our Teen Volunteer program high school sophomores and juniors age 15 — 18 must call the Volunteer Services department for a brief phone interview and to request an application.

Applications are only sent after speaking with the interested volunteer, not the parent or guardian.
