Medical Volunteer Abroad Programmes
Volunteering Solutions have been organising medical volunteer abroad programmes in different countries for 12 years. Participants (preferably medical students) joining these programmes will work under the guidance of professional doctors and nurses. The medical volunteering opportunities, offered in different areas like Emergency and General Medicine, are available throughout the year with flexible start dates and durations.
Answer Crisis Calls at a Helpline
Community Helpline currently has opportunities for students as a Volunteer Crisis Listener. It provides a nonjudgmental listening ear to the callers while also assisting individuals in coping with mental health issues to prevent serious crises. No previous experience is required but completion of a fiveweek training programme is required. The crisis line is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every single day. A “shift” consists of 3 hours and we ask that you sign up for 1 shift a week.
Youth Education Volunteers Needed
Youth Education Volunteers at LINC Cares serve at afterschool programmes and summer camps that provide fun recreational activities, support strong educational habits, and promote good health and positive social development for children from lowincome families. Volunteers serve at the afterschool programme one weekday per week from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
