Ambassador (Non-Student) Volunteers
About Our Program
Our Ambassador (Non-Student) volunteer program is designed for individuals who are no longer enrolled in school programs but wish to volunteer as a way of giving back, or for personal self-fulfillment. These individuals are often retirees, those with established careers, or other persons who have available time and are flexible to volunteer in different areas according to their interests. If you are a recent college graduate, are a college student taking a gap year before applying to a post-baccalaureate program or are a student at a campus aside from UCLA, you are NOT considered an Ambassador volunteer and should sign up as a student volunteer.
Our Volunteering Opportunities
We have several volunteer opportunities at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. There are multiple departments for Ambassador volunteers, and many positions offer flexible scheduling. Volunteer opportunities are based on the current needs of requesting departments and on the volunteer's suitability, experience and time commitment.
How to Apply
New recruitment begins mid-September 2025!
