Roles and Responsibilities 

Our nurse volunteers serve in a variety of roles depending on local need. These may include:

• Consulting and coordinating with health care team members to assess, plan, implement and evaluate patient care plans
• Providing clinical capacity building and health education to local staff and community health workers,
• Operating primary care clinics such as HIV/TB clinics, MCH, and Pediatrics.
• Conducting home visits and community outreach programs
• Improving operation capacity through developing and implementing protocols and practice guidelines
• General Information

  Becoming a Volunteer

  Start by completing the online application available via the link below. CMMB staff will review your application and schedule a personal interview if your background and skill set meet our needs. If accepted, all international volunteers also participate in a three-day pre-departure orientation in New York City.

  Benefits of Volunteering

  Each international volunteer who serves six months or longer in the field receives a round-trip ticket to their placement site, housing, a monthly stipend, insurance coverage, storytelling and fundraising training, and the opportunity to contribute to vital community development initiatives for under-served populations while building a longstanding legacy for the community.

  Financial Contribution

  A financial contribution is required. In addition to covering all travel costs, all volunteers contribute or raise $5,000 to help offset the cost of their trip; a minimum of $3,500 prior to departure and the remaining $1,500 can be raised while in the field.

  Domestic Volunteers

  Domestic (e.g. New York City internships) volunteers do not have to meet the international age, licensure, or financial contribution requirements, and do not receive program benefits outlined above.  We encourage New York based undergraduate and graduate students to apply for these domestic opportunities.
