Non-medical volunteers

Non-medical volunteers help to perform administrative tasks, and support staff and providers in various capacities. We can also help students design internships through their volunteer experience. 

Internships are approved on a case by case basis.

 

Specific work might involve greeting patients, assisting with patient forms, calling patients to remind them about their appointments, and much more.

​

Are you proficient in Excel? We are always looking for data-savvy volunteers to help out with data projects! Are you a Canva pro or know your way around graphic design? You may be perfect to help us keep our social media pages looking good! 

Keep in mind that volunteer positions do not offer shifts outside of clinic hours or opportunities to work remotely.

You must be at least 18 years old to volunteer!
