Clinic

High School and College Student Volunteers

Volunteering as a student is a great opportunity to gain experience, get class/program credit, build your resume, put on your college application, learn new skills and meet new people. Our program offers exposure in outpatient clinic setting for those thinking about pursuing professional careers in healthcare and administration.

Volunteering is more than just getting a valuable experience but also about giving back to your community. Many of our students comment after their volunteer time that they were thankful for their volunteer experience and could not have expected the impact it made on them long after they had left. Our students also bring a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to our Clinics, making it a fun program for volunteers and staff alike!
