Current hospital pathways
How it works
We help you arrive prepared. Hospitals make the final decisions about clearance, scheduling, and volunteer roles.
The important distinction
An offer from Campus2Care means you have been accepted into our program. You may begin only after the hospital confirms every requirement is complete.
Tell us about your goals, availability, and what you hope to learn through service.
We discuss fit, expectations, communication, and the responsibilities of hospital volunteering.
Accepted students join Campus2Care. This is not the same as hospital clearance or placement.
We review your schedule, interests, transportation, and the pathways currently available.
You complete the selected hospital's own volunteer application and required documentation.
The hospital manages screening, health clearance, orientation, training, and final approval.
Workshops and check-ins reinforce boundaries, communication, reliability, and patient-centered service.
Volunteer in the role assigned by the hospital while tracking progress and staying connected to your cohort.
Hospital pathways
Site availability changes. Campus2Care discusses fit with accepted students, then each hospital runs its own application and clearance process.
BWH
Medical Career Exploration Program
A structured hospital volunteer pathway for students ready to make a consistent weekly commitment.
BMC
Hospital volunteer opportunities
Campus2Care helps students enter BMC's established volunteer process and prepare for service.
Tufts
College volunteer pathway
A longer-term pathway for students who can protect a reliable weekday hospital shift.
Commitments and availability are subject to hospital policy and may change. We review the current pathway with each student before referral.

The student experience
Campus2Care adds the preparation, accountability, and community that can be hard to find when students approach hospital volunteering on their own.
Practice communication, boundaries, escalation, and professional expectations before service begins.
Stay connected during hospital onboarding and after you begin volunteering.
Track milestones, program check-ins, and hours without replacing the hospital's own systems.
Learn alongside students who are preparing for the same standard of consistent, patient-centered service.
Our mission
Patients deserve someone who has time to listen.
Recruit, interview, prepare, mentor, and help accepted students navigate available hospital pathways.
Campus2Care volunteers are nonclinical. They follow hospital policy, respect privacy, and escalate concerns through approved channels.
Why Campus2Care began
Campus2Care was inspired in part by the story of a patient we call Daniel and his spouse, Elena. Their names have been changed to protect their privacy. During Daniel's hospitalizations, he was often unable to fully express his own needs, and Elena became his voice at the bedside.
Her presence demonstrated how meaningful compassionate advocacy can be during serious illness. That lesson continues to guide how we prepare students to show up with empathy, humility, and respect for their role.

Campus2Care welcomes undergraduate students interested in healthcare, service, and patient-centered work. Current hospital availability, location, schedule, and program capacity all affect matching.
No. These are nonclinical volunteer pathways. Hospitals provide the role-specific orientation and training required for approved volunteers.
No. Campus2Care acceptance allows you to move forward in our program. Each hospital controls its own application, screening, clearance, role availability, and final approval.
You can share your preferences. We discuss fit based on your availability, transportation, interests, hospital requirements, and open pathways, but no specific site or role is guaranteed.
Most pathways require a fixed weekly shift of 3 to 4 hours. BWH and BMC generally require at least six months, while Tufts generally requires one year with academic breaks.
We recruit and interview students, help assess pathway fit, provide preparation workshops and check-ins, build cohort community, and help students stay organized throughout the process.
The hospital controls its volunteer application, health and background requirements, orientation, training, scheduling, role assignment, policies, and final clearance to begin.
Use the portal after Campus2Care gives you access. It is the home for program milestones, check-ins, and hour tracking. Hospital systems remain separate and must be completed as directed by each site.
