Non-MEDICAL volunteers

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING!

CEHC is currently changing volunteer management software!

It may take longer for us to reply to your emails and complete the onboarding process as we make the change. Please see the "Application Information" section below if you would like to submit a volunteer application.

Because of the change, it may take up to 10 business days for your application to be reviewed.

​

Incomplete packets will not be reviewed at this time.

​​

CEHC is also undergoing an exciting clinic-wide construction and expansion project! Because of the limited space, new and returning volunteer orientations will not be held until January 2025. Additionally, shifts are extremely limited and no new or returning volunteers will be added to the schedule until space becomes available later in the fall.

​

Please email VCoordinator@aplacetobehealthy.org with additional questions.

​

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Non-medical provider 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. Specific work might involve greeting patients, assisting with patient forms, calling patients to remind them about their appointments, and more.​

​

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!
