Question

Candy stripers are teenage volunteers at hospitals.

(In this sentence, what is the meaning of 'stripers'? Does it mean people who are wearing striped clothes?)

Answer 1

Yes, they wear striped clothing. Here are a couple of examples. Generally the dress is striped and the apron (if there is one) is white, but I've also seen striped dresses, too.
