""Teens accepted into the program commit to give no less than 100 hours of total service. However, circumstances beyond the teens control prevented this year's class from completing that commitment. In March, the program was suspended due to COVID-19. Despite the disruption, our Auxilians decided to award this year's scholarship. Our three scholarship recipients were tremendous blessings to the units where they served and exceeded or were on track to exceed their commitment. We are glad to have the opportunity to support their education,"" said Mary Robertson, President of The Medical Center, Navicent Health Auxiliary.
Navicent Health hopes to resume the Teen Volunteer Program in 2021. Students interested in applying may find more information at www.navicenthealth.org/get-involved Teen volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.
