Volunteering at the Alliance is a great opportunity to practice my French and learn more about the culture through food, films, lectures, and music. It's always a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
I have now been around long enough to go from beginner classes to proficient and have built wonderful friendships with the staff and fellow volunteers over the years. I have never felt more welcomed or appreciated in any group. Plus, here is a chance not only to earn credits towards taking free classes but to meet others in this big, anonymous city with whom I share so many passionsfor the French language and culture, the arts, food and France!

You can read a book to a patient, color, engage a child and their siblings in craft activities, or hand out stickers to keep their minds off of the doctor visit and ease their parents' minds. Inpatient Pediatrics Interview required Volunteers work alongside our Child Life Specialist to help "bring the fun" to kids during their hospital stay.
You can be the person to open up the playroom and engage a group of kids in games or crafts. You also can visit a kid to play at their bedside, read books or sing to a baby, or help out with special pediatric events like holiday parties.
This can include bringing them items like water, ice, or magazines; sitting with women who otherwise have no family or friends to support them; and providing visitors with information and directions, or transport services when requested. Supplementary clerical and front-desk phone responsibilities also are part of this volunteer position.
NICU Baby Cuddling interview required Research has shown that infants who are held demonstrate greater growth, physiological stability, and have shorter hospital stays than infants without that opportunity.
Since critically ill newborns are frequently hospitalized for an extended period of time, parents find themselves emotionally and physically torn between their desires to visit with their infants and other life responsibilities. The Cuddle Program uses extensively trained volunteers to support the families of infants by providing comfort to their hospitalized infant. Through training, Cuddlers learn to handle, hold, rock, and cuddle stable infants - as an extension of the parents' role - as they grow and gain strength following premature birth or other illnesses.

They also may participate in redistributing IV poles from other floors in the hospital to Surgical Services and the Emergency Department. Emergency Department Volunteers offer comfort by providing pillows and warm blankets, conversation, reading materials, and giving directions to the cafeteria and area restaurants.
