Youth Give and Grow at CTMC
Posted on June 30, 2008 at 12:55 pm • Print • Share
Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC) is instilling the value of serving others in local youth. This summer 32 teenagers have selflessly volunteered their time to the hospital as part of its annual Junior Volunteer Program.
Each of the young students will spend five weeks assisting various departments at CTMC. The volunteers range from age 13 to 18 and each will spend approximately four hours per day, Monday through Friday, as they share their services with employees and visitors.
“These teenagers are learning important life skills such as community service, common courtesy and business etiquette,” said Belinda Gardner, Director of Volunteer Services.
The program is just one of the many outreach opportunities that CTMC offers. It provides an excellent opportunity for each young person to be exposed early on to the various fields in the health care profession. Several of the young men and women are returning volunteers from previous years.

Creating a community of learners - making education a priority in San Marcos
Hi, my name is Vania Shapiro and that was my first time volunteering at CTMC. Although I would not like to work in the medical field when I am older, I think that volunteering at CTMC was a great experience. I believe that volunteering is a great way to get involved and help out in your community. I would definitely like to come back to CTMC next year! (I AM IN THE FRONT ROW, IN THE PINK SHIRT)
