If you are interested in the TUH At Your Service Program, please reach out to Kelly Jones through email at Kelly.JonesJr@tuhs.temple.edu. From there, you can schedule an interview with our team!

If you have already completed the interview and have been prompted to finish your application on BetterImpact, please scan and upload the following items to your application:

    • Criminal Background Check To obtain a state back ground check please use this link https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home.jsp when the background check is complete you will need to upload your certificate to your account.
    • Immunization Records (completed and signed by your Primary Care Physician or Student Health Services).
    • PPD/ TB if you have not had a test within 1 year please come to TUH OHS Monday- Wednesday to have the test placed, and make sure to come back 2 days later to have it read. PPD placements are available at TUH OHS without an appointment from 7am to 4:30pm; except for Thursdays. OHS is located in the Rock Pavilion Basement level, Room A-060. Please bring your results to Guest Relations after.
    • Flu Shot (during Flu Season months October- April).
    • Child Abuse History Clearance *(see below). We recommend that applicants go to the PA Department of Human Services website and complete an electronic submission for a Child Abuse History Clearance online. It is the fastest way to receive your results. Select “Volunteer Having Contact with Children” as reason for request in Child Welfare portal. There is no fee if applicant has not received a free volunteer certification within the previous 57 months. The link for the Child Welfare Portal is: https://www.compass.state.pa.us/CWIS/Public/Home

If you are interested in working in a specific clinical department within Temple University Hospital please contact that department directly to ask about volunteer opportunities. Once a relationship is established, Guest Relations will assist with the application process. (AYS Volunteers do work with the ED, however, so if you are interested in volunteering in the ED, do consider AYS!)
