Volunteer your time

Our name says it all - the Volunteer Healthcare Clinic was created by volunteers and they continue to be the heart of our organization. It is through the generosity of our volunteers who give their time, talent and expertise that we have been able to provide high quality health care to some of Austin's most vulnerable residents for almost 50 years. There are many volunteer opportunities available, especially for health care professionals, and we are always looking to expand our volunteer community. There are ongoing opportunities for individuals with the following expertise / training:
Medical
  • Physicians
    (especially Family Practice, Podiatrists and Ophthalmologists)
  • Advance Practice Nurses
  • Nurses
  • Pharmacists
  • Pharmacy Technicians (must be registered with the TSBP)
  • Phlebotomists and Medical Lab Technicians
  • Dietitians and Nutritionists
Non Medical
  • Spanish Interpreters / Translators
  • Vietnamese Interpreters/ Translators
  • Amharic Interpreters/ Translators
  • Burmese Interpreters/ Translators
  • General Office Support (daytime and evening)
  • Fundraising / PR / Special Projects
We understand the concern of many medical providers regarding their legal liability. The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 addresses this issue and all patients at Volunteer Healthcare Clinic are required to sign a statement explaining that they are receiving medical care from volunteers as required by this important legislation.
