Volunteer

There are several different kinds of volunteers at the Women's Community Clinic, all of whom play a central role in ensuring our mission to provide free, respectful, quality health care for women, by women. From a client's first contact with the clinic to her final conversation with a clinician, she will have interacted almost exclusively with our volunteer team.

Join an awesome, dedicated group of volunteers and be a part of providing free, quality healthcare for women.

Health Worker Volunteers

Health Worker Volunteers participate as Client Service Coordinators and Health Educators.

Recruitment and trainings happen twice a year (Spring & Fall), preceded by application review and interviews. Volunteers start as Client Service Coordinators, and are eligible to apply to be health educators at the subsequent training. Below are timelines for the next two volunteer periods. Client Service Coordinators can remain Client Service Coordinators for as long as they like; they do not have to switch to health education.
