Applications

Join us, and make a difference at El Camino Health and in your community.

When you join the El Camino Hospital Auxiliary, you have an opportunity to make a difference in your community. And, you'll find that the satisfaction you feel from helping others will far exceed your efforts — whether you contribute a few or many hours. We match your interests and skills with our needs to help you find a volunteer role you feel passionate about.

Join the Auxiliary

In order to volunteer, you must become a member of the Auxiliary. Simply fill out an application (for applicants 18 and older) and email it to us or fax it to 650-966-9213. A placement counselor will call you to arrange a personal interview at the Mountain View or Los Gatos Auxiliary office.

In order to receive an adult membership, we require that you:

Commit to 12 hours per month, for a minimum of six months.
Undergo a background and health check.

Junior Auxiliary Volunteers

Students who are at least 14 years old and have completed eighth grade are eligible to join the Junior Auxiliary Program in Mountain View and Los Gatos. Junior Membership requires a commitment of at least one year.

Please note that the El Camino Hospital Junior Auxiliary does not offer summer internships or programs lasting less than one year. Once a student becomes a volunteer, he or she can stay through the summer after high school graduation.

How to Become a Junior Auxiliary Volunteer

The Auxiliary appreciates the tremendous interest in the Junior Auxiliary program. The program is highly competitive, and there are a limited number of open positions available.

As part of the selection process, the Auxiliary holds annual application seminars where the application requirements and selection process are explained to potential candidates – one in Mountain View for MV applicants and one in Los Gatos for LG applicants. Please check back with us in mid January of 2026 to get the registration details for the 2026 Junior Application Seminars.
