The Step Up Youth Program offers Vancouver Island youth (aged 15-18) the opportunity to volunteer at their local Island Health facilities. Youth volunteers attend weekly shifts and also participate in a monthly career guest speaker series. The volunteer experience is centered on practicing Island Health’s C.A.R.E. values (Courage, Aspire, Respect, and Empathy) while learning about careers in healthcare and developing important leadership skills. This program is perfect for high school aged volunteers who are looking for an exciting and challenging volunteer role in a healthcare environment.
Scholarship Opportunities
Island Health has established a scholarship fund for current participants of the Step Up Youth Program. By participating in the program, high school graduates are eligible to apply to be considered for the award.
Step Up Youth is also affiliated with the Altruition Scholarship Program, so eligible students can earn a $20 scholarship credit per every volunteer hour earned.
