Resources for All Volunteers

Volunteer Handbook

All Clinic volunteers should keep up-to-date with Clinic policies and volunteer guidelines by reading the latest version of the volunteer handbook.

Volunteer Timesheet

Your time is a valuable resource to us, and if you're volunteering your service through the Clinic, we want to be sure to keep an accurate count of your donated hours. These records help us budget well and receive funding from various grants so we can continue and expand our work.
