Dear Hiring Manager, Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the hospital support volunteer position at SickKids. After reviewing your job description, it's clear that you're looking for a candidate that can kindly welcome families into the hospital and assist staff with tasks.

I am a quality-oriented college student (Life Science) currently attending University of Toronto. I have three years of work and volunteer experience and all of my positions have required critical thinking, teamwork, and interactions with customer, coworkers, and participants.

In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working by my educators and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply critical thinking, leadership and teamwork skills, while creating a positive and welcoming work environment which I hope to be able to bring to the SickKids community as a hospital support volunteer position your SickKids.
