UMC Brackenridge Volunteer Services College Student Volunteer Program

The University Medical Center at Brackenridge College Student Volunteer Program offers many ways for college students to make a difference through community service. Clinical and non-clinical positions are available in more than 20 areas throughout University Medical Center at Brackenridge. However, we require first-time college volunteers to spend their first semester at either the Great Habits Gift Shop or our Information Desks.

Please note that as a University student studying at the undergraduate level, you are required to volunteer with our College Student Volunteer Program and will not be accepted into the Adult Volunteer Program.

How to Become a Volunteer

To become a volunteer for the University Medical Center at Brackenridge College Student Program, you must complete the forms below.

In addition, you must submit proof of immunizations: 2 measles/mumps, 1 rubella, and a current tuberculosis screening test (this expires every year).
