OAFC is a volunteer-driven organization, and volunteers are the number one asset to the clinic’s healing culture. Our volunteers are students, administrative support, interpreters, counselors, lab technicians, patient advocates, medical professionals and more.
At Open Arms, there is room for everyone to serve. We need all kinds of people to keep the clinic running, and medical training is not required.
If you are interested in bringing compassionate health care to our neighbors in need, we invite you to complete a volunteer application today!
Once we receive your application, you will get an email from Open Arms outlining the next steps to becoming a volunteer and inviting you to come tour the clinic.
