Volunteer Recruitment Opportunities

M-SEARCH - A program being launched in 2010 by the Michigan Department of Community Health to place medical residents and other students in the medical professions at sites throughout Michigan in medically underserved areas to gain experience in primary care fields.  Free clinics could be considered for placement sites.  Rotations at the site could range from a few weeks full-time to long term part-time arrangements.

AmeriCorps VISTA - Recruit VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members to serve at your clinic.  VISTAs serve full-time for one year contracts and are paid by the federal government to help nonprofit organizations build their capacity to serve others.

Contact the Free Clinics of Michigan administative office or Evan Albert, the state coordinator for VISTA programs at the Corporation for National and Community Service, for additional information.
