Volunteer

When you join People’s Community Clinic’s volunteer team, you join a group of amazing people whose commitment and passion help change the lives of the patients we serve. Our volunteer program includes high school students, college students, retired adults, and adults who are still active in the workforce–all of whom come from different backgrounds but are united by their compassionate spirits and dedication to our mission of improving the health of uninsured and medically underserved Central Texans. Each person brings a unique set of life skills and experiences to support our families, patients, and visitors.

General Volunteers serve in different capacities within our organization. They provide clinical and non-clinical support to our staff, freeing up our staff to spend more time with our patients.

General Volunteers are required to serve our organization for a minimum 6 months due to the time and effort we put into screening, onboarding, and training new volunteers. Each volunteer role hourly requirement varies; we do ask that you review our volunteer opportunity’s role descriptions before applying to ensure that you can commit to the listed requirements.
