How do I become a volunteer?

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the UAB Health System. Volunteers are special people who are part of our team of world-class healthcare providers. Whether you are an adult, college student, or teenager, volunteering at UAB can be a rewarding experience. As part of the UAB family, volunteers strive to adhere to the Core Values of the UAB Health System:

Always care - Listen with empathy, be compassionate, and support those in need.
Own it - Be accountable, take action, and make it happen.
Work together - Think win-win; build consensus; and play your role on the team.
Do right - Follow through, work with principles, and do no harm.
