TLC Volunteer
June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I really liked getting to know the other volunteers and the volunteer coordinators. I also liked that this role gave me experience in a hospital setting, especially with different safety precautions and protocols for entering rooms of patients with various levels of illness.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more to do while I was there. A lot of the time I spent at the hospital was trying to find something to do or somebody who I could help out with a random task.
Advice
If this is a summertime position for a student, or a way to fill time, plan on not volunteering for more than 4-6 hours a week because there is a low volume of work to do compared to the high volume of volunteers.
