Children's Hospital Playroom Volunteer Application

Help Bring Joy to Children's Hospital Playrooms

Volunteering in a children's hospital playroom is one of the most rewarding ways to make a meaningful difference in young lives. This Children's Hospital Playroom Volunteer Application template is designed for healthcare organizations, pediatric hospitals, and nonprofit child life programs looking to recruit compassionate, qualified volunteers who can provide therapeutic play and emotional support to hospitalized children.

Why This Template Works for Healthcare Nonprofits

Hospital volunteer coordination requires careful screening to ensure volunteers have the right blend of empathy, knowledge, and reliability. This template captures essential information about child development understanding, infection control awareness, emotional resilience, and weekday availability—all critical factors for playroom volunteers who work with vulnerable pediatric patients.

The form includes sections for personal information, relevant experience with children, understanding of age-appropriate play, ability to handle emotionally challenging situations, and flexible scheduling options. By gathering comprehensive details upfront, volunteer coordinators can make informed placement decisions and ensure the safety and wellbeing of both volunteers and patients.
