LEWISTON — Central Maine Medical Center certified 38 new junior volunteers to volunteer at the hospital over the past summer and during school vacations. Each summer junior volunteers provide CMMC with more than 6,000 hours of volunteer service. Many junior volunteers apply their work at the medical center to community service requirements at school.

Junior volunteers at CMMC are between 13 and 16 years of age. They provide support to CMMC employees and patients by transporting patients, delivering patient belongings, running errands on the nursing units, putting packets together for various departments and working on special projects.

Young people interested in volunteering should contact CMMC volunteer services director Sue Hedrich at 795-2472 between March 1 and May 15 to request an application packet. Students must be at least 13 years old by June 20, 2012 to participate in next summer’s program.
