Volunteers - Open Arms Free Clinic

get involved–volunteer!

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.
