Welcome to the V.I.P. Zone!
Volunteer Information Portal
On this page, you’ll get to know Hope Clinic. You’ll see how joining our volunteer workforce makes a difference for our neighbors in need. We invite you to explore and get excited about your part in providing a haven of help and healing to the community.
Don’t worry—when your volunteer application is processed and you are placed, you’ll get a complete orientation for the specific program area you’ll be working in. But in the meantime, everyone who volunteers with Hope Clinic should watch these videos, and get a basic overview of being a part of Hope.
Every volunteer has a Very Important Part to play in making lives better!
