That’s okay! We welcome non-healthcare workers on our teams, too. We need people to help with other tasks so the healthcare personnel can focus on the patients. Often, spouses or family members of the doctors and nurses join them to help out in another capacity, but if you want to join one of our open teams, you’re more than welcome.
As a civilian volunteer, you’ll rotate where we most need you and where your life experience shows you’d be helpful. For example, we need people to:
- Play with the children and keep them occupied while their parents wait in long lines
- Handle triage (taking temps, blood pressures, etc.)
- Help with loading, unloading, and sorting supplies
- People management, ensuring lines move quickly and efficiently and no one misses out
- Education, you can teach the waiting patients about hygiene, food safety, etc.
- Community connections, you’ll be interacting with people as they arrive for the clinics and building a connection with them to make them feel welcome
