Volunteer Opportunities

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

At this time, we are not accepting students for practicums or internships from educational programs outside of UCSF.

Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital and other UCSF Health locations

Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital does not have open recruitment for potential volunteers. Volunteers are only recruited directly by faculty or staff to work on a specific project for a specific time period with a defined set of responsibilities.

If you have not been recruited, there are still other opportunities to volunteer at UCSF Health facilities. For more information, contact the UCSF Volunteer Services website.

UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals

Every year, more than 1,000 area volunteers work with UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals in Oakland and San Francisco, some in the hospitals themselves and others supporting us in the community through fundraising and outreach methods. For more information on becoming a volunteer, visit their website.

Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center

Zuckerberg San Francisco General does not place volunteers in psychiatric care operations, but opportunities to volunteer time and effort in other parts of the hospital are plentiful in the service, clinical and research environments. For more information, visit the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Volunteer Department website.
