Volunteer Program | Volunteers are the core of our program at Bethesda.

COME JOIN OUR FAMILY!

Thank you for your interest in the Volunteer Program at Bethesda Health Clinic.

Volunteers are at the core of our mission and we simply could not serve all of our patients diligently without the help of our community and volunteers. Every single one of our volunteers contribute significantly to Bethesda’s ability to reach those in need.

Bethesda volunteers are involved in many different areas throughout the clinic including: medical, admissions, Barnabas program, reception, and other administrative and clerical areas. We also have volunteers that assist with sorting donations and customer service at our thrift stores, Hangers of Hope.

WHY VOLUNTEER WITH US?

Volunteers at Bethesda not only receive a sense of fulfillment, but also purpose. Sharing a smile, conversation, and the love of Christ is incredibly inspiring to all that enter through our doors.

Joining our Volunteer Program means meeting new friends, impacting the local community in a positive light, learning a new skill/trait and gaining valuable experience. We do our best to match volunteers with their area(s) of interest and skills so they can best perform and feel productive.
