Volunteer Opportunities

As a member of the Family Advisory Council (FAC), we expect you to know this information and follow these ground rules.

Created by the Family Advisory Council, the Excellence in Patient and Family-Centered Care Award gives families an opportunity to recognize and honor care providers who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to family-centered care.

Here are profiles of the kids currently on the Youth Advisory Council (YAC).

Our Motto: We ARE the children here.  Who knows Children's better than patients? As members of Youth Advisory Council (YAC), we draw on our experiences to help Children's be the best place possible for kids.

The Family Advisory Council is a diverse group of families whose children have received care (inpatient or outpatient) at one of Children’s facilities. They work collaboratively with staff to promote and enhance patient- and family-centered care and to improve the family and patient experiences. Learn more about our expectations of members of the Family Advisory Council.

At Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, everything we do is for the kids. So, we’re always looking for input from our patients and their families.

NOTE: This page is for current Children’s volunteers only. If you are not an active Children’s volunteer, please do not complete these materials.
