 Dental Volunteers

Our dental section aims to take patients out of pain, remove infection and put patients on the path to better oral health. We provide the tools, supplies and personal protective equipment so all you need to do is show up to provide life changing care.

We offer cleanings, fillings and extractions to our patients.

Professionals Needed

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

  • General Dentists

  • Dental Hygienists

  • Dental Assistants

While we do always have a place for postgraduate dental students, pre-dental are limited to non-clinical tasks. Dental schools and volunteer groups should contact volunteers@healingca.org to find out more

Vision Volunteers

Our vision services include providing comprehensive eye exams and glasses fabrication on-site, so patients receive their glasses as quickly and easily as possible. Our finishing equipment produces custom single vision glasses on-site, and we have an on-going partnership with the Essilor Vision Foundation to make any glasses that we cannot produce on-site with our equipment.

Professionals Needed:

  • Optometrists

  • Ophthalmologists

  • Ophthalmic Techs

  • Dispensing opticians

  • Vision Lab Technicians

Pre-optometry students are welcomed and are limited to glasses fabrication and dispensing. Please visit our upcoming clinic page and be sure to sign-up for our e-newsletter, so you never miss a volunteer opportunity.

 
 

 
 
 

Medical Volunteers

Medical professionals are given volunteer assignments in our triage station. You will be taking patient histories, vitals and making sure our patients are healthy enough to receive Healing California’s dental and vision care services.

Professionals Needed

Registered Nurses, LVN’s, EMT’s and other medical professionals are needed in our triage stations. The requirements for other medical volunteers vary by the demands of the individual clinic, please email volunteers@healingca.org to discuss your particular medical expertise and how you can best support the work of Healing California.

General Volunteers

You don’t need to be a trained professional to be a vital part of the Healing California volunteer team. There are a variety of tasks that general volunteers can help out with at a clinic.

Because we are a healthcare organization, certain general volunteer roles are restricted to those with appropriate training. However, from setting up equipment to helping with patient registration, there’s a role for a variety of skill-sets within our clinics. There are a number of roles that do not require training or experience but still give you an important, hands on role.

It’s nice to see the appreciation the veterans have for us [volunteers] and the camaraderie they have with each other.
