Choose the opportunity that speaks to you

Our wide range of volunteer opportunities at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns allows you to choose how you can make the greatest impact. We are happy to accommodate your passions and ideas to find the right fit for you. Here are a few possibilities:

• Arts for Healing program

• Maternal infant services

• NICU Volunteer Baby Cuddler Program — We are not recruiting for NICU volunteers at this time. Baby cuddlers must have had at least six months volunteer experience with us, and at least 100 volunteer hours. Because this program is in high demand, there are usually very few available positions. Prior to volunteering in this program, you must clear a background check and participate in a cuddler-specific training.

• Perinatal Special Care Unit

As a Sharp volunteer, you will give back to the community and meet new people. Other benefits include learning and career exploration, education and wellness forums, recognition prizes, discounted uniforms, free parking and a $6 cafeteria meal credit during each shift.

We make it easy and flexible to schedule your volunteer hours. All of our clinical departments utilize a live, cloud-based scheduling program that’s accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
