About the program
El Camino Health's Auxiliary runs a competitive junior program at its Mountain View and Los Gatos hospitals. Members can stay through the summer after high school graduation.
Junior volunteers serve as escorts and at information desks, and in Los Gatos also assist on medical/surgical/orthopedic units and in the rehabilitation center with non-medical tasks.

Making the most of it on a college application
- Stay long enough to take on more responsibility, such as a second year or training new volunteers.
- Keep a log of hours and a few specific moments. They become the activities list entry and, often, an essay.
- Pair it with something that shows the same interest from another side, such as a class, a competition, or a summer program.
