Volunteer Opportunities
Young & Healthy provides free access to quality health care for uninsured and underserved children from low income families in the greater Pasadena area through community and professional health care volunteers.
Professional Volunteer Opportunities:
Young & Healthy needs the help of health care volunteers to provide free health care to children without insurance. We are in need of the following types of professional volunteers:
- Physicians
- Dentists
- Optometrists
- Mental Health Professionals
- Pharmacists
Professional volunteers see children in their own offices and have the option to accept our referral calls only when convenient for them and their staff.
Community Volunteer Opportunities:
Young & Healthy has a variety of community volunteer opportunities with varying time commitments. Some volunteer assignments require fingerprints, TB tests, and/or a review of the volunteeršs driving records.
