There is no greater reward than being able to help a sick child.
The volunteers at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) generously donate their time to help us provide the very best pediatric services in Orange County. For more than 40 years, the volunteer programs at CHOC and CHOC at Mission have provided vital assistance to all hospital departments. In Setpember 2006, we were voted “The Best Place to Volunteer" by the Orange County Register!

We currently have a team of 500 volunteers who give more than 4500 hours a month and save the hospital nearly $1 million annually. Our program offers many unique opportunities, and we are always looking for enthusiastic, compassionate, energetic, qualified and committed individuals of all ages and backgrounds to join our team. We hope you will consider submitting an application to become a CHOC volunteer. Whether you are motivated by a desire to help out in your community, are looking for exposure to careers in the health care field, or simply want to "give back", you will find your volunteer experience a rewarding and exciting one.

However, all applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis so we encourage you to submit your application in a timely manner.
