  Are there special requirements for student volunteers?

  Yes. Our Junior Auxiliary program is for students 14-17 years old. Junior Auxilians, like adult volunteers, must be interviewed before starting their assignment. They are required to have parental consent, in addition to meeting the general volunteer requirements. Volunteer uniforms (blue scrubs with white pants) are required; uniforms are available in the Auxiliary offices for a small fee.
  
  For more information about the Junior Auxiliary, call (650) 696-5077(Mills-Peninsula Medical Center) or (650) 696-4828 (Mills Health Center).
