Application

Application Questions

Application Agreement: I understand and agree that submitting this application form does not automatically qualify me to be a Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) volunteer, and that there may be certain qualifications I must meet, including the established volunteer policies and procedures, before I may begin volunteering. I affirm that the information provided in this application is true and complete. Falsification of any information can result in immediate dismissal from the CHOP Volunteer Services Department. I hereby give my permission and authorize representatives of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to investigate any or all statements I have made in this application. I understand that as volunteer, I may not accept payment, benefits or compensation for my service. I understand that the Wawa Volunteer Service Department will not write letters of recommendation, however it will confirm my volunteer start and end date with total hours upon request.  I understand that my volunteer service does not guarantee or secure employment with CHOP and that my volunteer service does not give me any advantage over other applicants for open positions with CHOP. I understand that CHOP will do its best to take into account my preference when assigning volunteer duites and roles; however, I understand CHOP reserves the right to place volunteers in different assignments based on need and other factors, and may change the duties assigned to a volunteer at any time. As a volunteer, I understand that I am not an employee of CHOP and my volunteer position is not a promise or a guarantee of any future employment with CHOP. I will make reasonable efforts to commit to volunteering one fixed 3-4 hour shift each week over the course of two consecutive semesters, and not exceeding 12 hours of volunteer service any week. Any exceptions must be agreed upon in advance during your interview or placement appointment.
