Summer before college volunteering options?

Just looking for some input on how D goes about finding volunteering (medicine-related) opportunities this summer (before heading off to college). Is it just pounding-the-pavement, or are there more organized ways nowadays like all-encompassing volunteer-search websites?

She’ll have about 2 months free before heading out, so any good advice on what type of things she should look for (shadowing a local dr, certain things in the local hospital, etc). I checked the local rescue squad but they said since it would only be for 2 months they’d prefer to use the resources for people that would be around longer.

I’m just assuming it should be medicine related, is that a valid assumption?

Once in school she’ll have the pre-health advisors to work with, but before then I’m trying to find things to get her started on the right path.

Thanks!
