It takes all of us to make a difference in the lives of our patients. Regardless of your language ability, previous experience, or current location, we are open to discussing new volunteer opportunities that fit your interests and our mission.
Some of our current volunteers serve as community champions who connect us with key organizations and possibilities, language interpreters who help patients access medical and community needs, and writers who keep us all informed of current issues in the farmworker community by contributing to our blog. See below for other suggestions on volunteer positions.
