Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
That is really going to depend on the hospital and what their volunteer coordinator has available and what they allow teenagers, who may still be in high school and are under 18 to do.
Things that come to mind would be front desk work, where visitors check in. Hospitality work bringing books and possibly reading to patients.I don't see you having any patient care responsibilities although you might be able to help out at the nurses station. Again each hospital is different in what it allows.
I suggest you call the volunteer coordinator at the hospital and ask what is available for you to do, then select from those areas.

At our local hospital teens can get involved with the seniors, talking to them, playing games or listening to stories. Other teens do hair or makeup or paint nails. Some help with dishes. It depends - ask someone in the hospital what they need help with.
Sometimes hospitals need more money as opposed to more bodies. In that case, organizing a fundraiser might be more appropriate.
Good job, though, for trying to volunteer!
Take care & have fun!
