Do they still let kids read to sick patients in hospitals?

Question

Like as volunteer work? I would like to do that. I'm 14 years old and was wondering if I could just go into a hospital and volunteer my time to just be company for elderly sick people or even little kids. Thanks.

I work at a childrens hospital and we do accept high school age volunteers in the summer.  I don't know how much you would get to hang out with the kids but there are a wide variety of ways you can help out.

Answer 4

Normally yes, but it depends on the specific rules of the hospital and how sick the patient is. Usually they allow people in above a certain age, 13 or 14 is common.
