Volunteen Scholarship Fund

Volunteer work is essential to the function of Arroyo Grande Community Hospital.Under the direction of Volunteer Coordinator Colleen Twomey, volunteers are responsible for greeting and directing visitors at the front lobby and Emergency Department, bringing a comfort cart around to patients, keeping inventory, working in the gift shop, and providing groomed pets for the Pet Therapy program among many other duties.

In addition to its wonderful adult volunteers, Arroyo Grande Community Hospital is fortunate to have high school student “Volunteens” who set aside their valuable time during afternoons, evenings, and/or weekends to serve patients. For several years, Arroyo Grande Community Hospital has rewarded Volunteens with scholarship opportunities as they approach graduation. The Volunteen Scholarship Fund was created in 2018 to help provide even more support for Volunteens as they begin their journey with higher education.

Due to generous support of the VolunteenScholarship Fund, in 2020, several applicants were awarded scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,500, based on each student’s hours served as well as their educational achievements..
