Do hospitals still have Candy Striper programs for teens?

@tianaloveyou’s question about things to do with her friend brought to mind that, when I was 14, my friends and I volunteered at a hospital as Candy Stripers. We would deliver flowers and magazines to patients, work in the gift shop, help the nurse’s aids change beds, get water for patients, transport patients to and from Xray and physical therapy. It was hard work but fun. We would meet up for lunch, made some new friends, etc. All of this was great because you could count it as service hours for school and as work experience when you applied for jobs.
Do programs like this still exist for teens?
