Additional information for volunteers

Dress code

The general volunteer uniform is a Shands at UF volunteer shirt, which can be purchased at the hospital gift shop. This is worn with khaki pants and close-toed shoes. Badges provided by the Volunteer Department complete the uniform.

Commitment

College students who volunteer are asked to commit to one full semester for a three (3) hour shift once a week. Volunteers are allowed two (2) absences during each semester. Those who have more than two absences during a semester must make up any additional absences.

Parking

UF parking surrounds the Shands at UF facility. UF students should use their current campus parking decal. Students who do not have a UF decal can park in the parking garages for a fee. Any other volunteers should contact the Volunteer Services Department at 352.265.0360 for assistance.
