Our entire team is made up of volunteers. We’re always looking for medical providers and volunteers to help with a variety of projects.
All volunteers must commit to regular participation as Clara’s House depends on volunteers to provide consistent patient care. Volunteers are expected to work at least one 8-hour shift or two 4-hour shifts each week
Most volunteer opportunities require training at the clinic, such as on the patient records software and paper records and forms. We are especially seeking Spanish-speaking volunteers for roles working directly with patients.

All applicants are required to fill out the General Volunteer Application below. Healthcare Providers will also need to fill out the Health Provider Application.
We also require a physician-completed health form. The health form and current TB skin test, within the last 3 months, are required before beginning clinic training.
If you are a student, the campus health center often will complete the form for you.
Once your application has been submitted, our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you to schedule an interview. Interviews will be held in-person at the clinic (2700 L Street - Inside Pioneer Congregational Church).
We are grateful that you have offered your time and talent. The key to our success rests in people like you. We look forward to having you on our staff of volunteers.
