Alumni
Since the Clinic’s founding in 1999 we’ve trained over 500 volunteers to provide outreach, administrative, and clinical services.
A recent survey reveals that many of our alumni volunteers continue to feel the positive effects of their volunteer experience at the Clinic.
- Eighty-three percent of alumni see their Clinic experience as extremely valuable
- Ninety-seven percent would recommend the Clinic Health Worker volunteer program to their friends
Many of our volunteers go on to pursue careers as leaders in the health care field and in their communities.
Where are they now?
Here are updates from some of our fabulous alumni!
I began a nursing program in January 2009. My volunteer experiences at the Clinic truly reinforced my commitment to serve others. The Clinic is not only a place; it is a place that embodies each client that walks through the front doors.
I'm in grad school now, MFT program, and I really love it! I serve on the board for GirlSource, a non-profit in San Francisco, providing educational and employment opportunities for low-income high school girls in the Bay Area.
My work at the Clinic helped me understand the culture I lived in and offered me the opportunity to try something completely different in my career. Loved working there, loved the people I worked with, and I learned a lot.
I am still working at the Center for Gender Equity at UCSF as the Program Assistant. I am taking prerequisites for nursing school and will be applying for Accelerated RN programs sometime in 2009.
I am now the Health Administrator for the local health department. Having first hand experience providing care to clients at the Clinic gives me a unique perspective that allows me to support individual and population based services
I am working as a nursing assistant on rehabilitation floor in a local hospital- and start my RN program in August 2009. I'm really happy to be back with my family but miss San Francisco and its freethinkers every day.
Through all of my experiences at the Women's Community Clinic I have grown tremendously and because of you landed my first job after my Masters as a health educator working with homeless women.
When not managing the Clinic’s books, Jamie sings in Transcendence, the first and only transgender gospel choir, and is very active in the Bay Area women's health community.

Although Rebecca is interested in both domestic and international work, she is most excited to be able to help women right in her own backyard.
As a Summer Health Intern, Cassidy is excited to work directly with clients and believes that everyone should have access to quality reproductive health care.
The clinic is the most wonderful place to learn about the many and varied gynecological needs of women and how a support system as altruistic and encompassing as this, can alter the course of women’s lives before her very eyes.
I particularly enjoyed providing health care referrals for uninsured women and informing women of local free and sliding scale clinics that they may not be aware of.
The atmosphere and service that the clinic offers is empowering and she only wishes that she was qualified to be seen at the clinic. She is very grateful to work with such a fabulous group of Women and is excited to go on as a Health Educator in the future.
Ivie is currently working toward her BS in biology and aspires to become a gynecologist.
Robin has been an enthusiastic member of our community since 2005, when she started volunteering in the midst of her undergraduate studies.
Uma hopes the experience she learns from the Clinic in the unconditional care they give their clients will make her become a better person, so that when she reaches her goal she will be able to be a caring and involved teacher.
Adrienne is currently taking Medical Assisting classes and is continuously learning how to care and treat the community.
Rebecca volunteered at the clinic in 2005 and has returned in January of 2009. She is a Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in primary care, women's health, adolescent health and addiction medicine.
My experience at the Clinic has enabled me to critically analyze the reproductive health issues here in the Philippines among poor women, as Likhaan's Reproductive Health Research, Policy, & Advocacy Intern.
