The work requires interviews with program leads and others, at least one in-person visit, and the submission of a final written report. Volunteers should have an understanding of evaluations, the ability to do research to determine best practices, and good writing skills. Some experience in the area that is being evaluated is helpful but not necessary.

We prefer Clinic volunteers to commit to a regular schedule for at least 6 months, and for at least one 3–4-hour shift per week if possible. The ability to speak Spanish is desirable but not required for physicians; however, for other healthcare personnel, the ability to speak Spanish is now required. MD-licensed healthcare professionals only.

Skills required include patience in speaking with senior citizens and the ability to complete and email reports to the program manager. Volunteers and senior clients choose the standard weekly day and time that phone calls will occur.

​

As a “Friendly Visitor,” visit senior clients monthly or bimonthly for conversation, activities, or other social interaction. A background check is required.
