Almost all services at the Berkeley Free Clinic are provided
by volunteers who have been trained at the clinic or by volunteer
professionals. Each year, an estimated 180 people donate approximately
31,000 volunteer hours doing direct client service administration,
fundraising, building maintenance, conducting trainings, and
more. If you would like to volunteer, or would like more information,
come to a Volunteer Orientation held on the third Monday of
every month at 7:30pm. The next Volunteer Orientations
will occur on the following Mondays at 7:30pm:

No previous medical experience is necessary to volunteer
and become a member of the Clinic. Requirements do include

and health education, to community empowerment and unification,
and to eliminating racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia.
In most cases, volunteers are asked to make a minimum one-year
commitment following training.
