STAR Volunteen Program

Baptist Health's Little Rock and North Little Rock campuses are working in tandem on a summer outreach program for highly motivated youth volunteers. The STAR Volunteen Program will offer young people the opportunity to learn about careers in healthcare by serving in a variety of hospital departments.

One significant change in our program for 2013 is the implementation of two separate and distinct sessions, each lasting three weeks. The summer schedule for both the Little Rock and North Little Rock campuses is as follows:

Applicants may apply for the session of their choice, but will greatly improve their chances of being selected if they are able to serve during EITHER session. Approximately 30 - 35 slots are available for each session on the Little Rock campus, while 15 - 20 slots are open for each session at our North Little Rock hospital.

Those selected will serve during one session, volunteering 8 hours every day Monday through Friday for three weeks. Qualified applicants must:
