Career, Intern and Volunteer Opportunities at Open Door Family Medical Centers

Volunteer

Open Door was founded by a group of volunteers in 1972, and volunteers remain a vital part of the Open Door culture today. Open Door Volunteers consistently demonstrate that when you help one person, you can strengthen an entire community. 

Open Door offers long-term opportunities to volunteer as well as one-day events. We value the important partnerships of non-profits, businesses, schools, community groups and faith-based organizations. Volunteers must be over the age of 16 unless accompanied by an adult.

If you have questions or would like further information please contact Wendy Armstrong, Senior Manager of Volunteer Programs at warmstrong@odfmc.org.
