[quote=Anonymous]I don't know exactly what they did, but when my daughters were in NICU at Virginia Hospital Center, about once a week I'd see "teen volunteers" restocking the supply room. Other areas might have more patient contact (there was NO patient contact in the NICU). This was two years ago, so they're probably still around. Even restocking a supply room might be a "foot in the door" at a hospital, though. You might want to remind your daughter that sometimes the first step is proving that you're willing to do "scut work" before you move up to "better" things - though she may also have already learned that with her animal volunteering. Separately, I saw a volunteer office at Inova Alexandria when visiting a friend's newborn - in addition to whatever else they did, they sold "congratulations" and "get well soon" mylar balloons. Maybe call local hospitals - ones your daughter can get to easily - and see what kind of volunteer programs they have?[/quote]
