Sparrow Volunteer Services is currently accepting applications from college students for summer semester 2020. At this time there is not a determined start date for the summer semester due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place for the safety of our patients, caregivers and volunteers. We encourage interested college students to submit a volunteer application and the Volunteer Services Department will keep you informed as to the status of the program.
