Why Volunteer?

You are needed! You enable Villa Therese Free Clinic’s patient population to have access to the health care they desperately need.

We are a FREE clinic: By volunteering, we are able to apply our financial resources directly to the programs and services we offer.
Medical Malpractice Insurance is covered by Villa Therese.
Villa Therese will work around your availability: You choose the date, time, and frequency.
Referrals are available for specialties allowing you to collaborate with other providers to provide comprehensive care to patients.
Volunteering is shown to provide life fulfillment, reduce stress levels, and helps you to connect with other people.
Make an impact: You are making a difference in the lives of others!

Are you a licensed health-care provider in New Mexico looking for a rewarding volunteer experience?

We can work with your schedule to make the most of your valuable volunteer time. Whether it’s once a week, or once a month or every other month, there is a need for your services.

General Dentistry

Physician, pediatrician, internist or family practice

“I’ve met so many wonderful people volunteering at Villa Therese Free Clinic! And, I know that I’m making a difference for people in our community who really need it!”

This is a typical refrain from all our volunteers who make things happen at Villa Therese. The clinic staff relies on volunteers to assist with archiving medical records, answering the telephone, filing or other administrative tasks. With volunteers’ assistance, there’s more time for staff to attend to patient needs.

In addition, we often have projects that need a certain expertise like financial, marketing, legal or information systems. Villa Therese Free Clinic wants to “tap” into your talents. And, if you are interested in helping us to further our mission into the future, please consider serving on the Board of Directors.

Or if fundraising and working on our assistance programs are more to your liking, then check out our list of those volunteer activities. Whether it’s helping with the geranium sale, the Pack-2-School program or the annual winter fundraiser, volunteers play an important role in raising funds and helping our patients.

For questions or to sign up to volunteer, email execdirector@villatherese.org or call 983-8561. Training provided.
