Photo of the Week: VolunTeens Get Hands on Experience

Each summer, two groups of high school students are accepted into Moffitt Cancer Center’s summer VolunTeen Program, which allows teens to get hands-on volunteer experience and learn about the inner workings of the center. This year, 103 teens are participating in the VolunTeen program, providing service to 33 departments across Moffitt including Transport, the Gift Shop, Urgent Care, Infusion, Radiation Therapy, Pharmacy and Interventional Radiology, as well as at the concierge and information desks. VolunTeens help with various tasks including providing comfort items to patients and families, escorting patients to clinics, running prescriptions, restocking items, assisting with wayfinding, filing, and preparing packets and educational materials.
