Volunteer Opportunities
The Berkeley Free Clinic is made up of 11 sections which each provide distinct services. The first step to volunteering at the clinic is applying to join a section. Most sections open up applications once a year for their annual training cycle. Our sections will provide training for all necessary skills; no prior knowledge is required.
Street Medicine Team (SMT) and the Gay Men/Trans Health Collective (GMTHC) are currently recruiting!
APPLICATION DEADLINE: July 11, 2025.
We encourage folks to apply before the application deadline, as we might contact you to schedule an interview. Application received after the deadline will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If you have difficulty meeting the deadline, or have any questions regarding the application process or the GMHC medic training in general, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at tc_gmhc@berkeleyfreeclinic.org.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: June 30th 2025.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We prioritize applicants who come from the communities we serve. Queer and trans folks, poor folks, people of color, chronically ill/neurodivergent/disabled people, drug users, sex workers, and HIV-positive folks are welcomed and encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in volunteering for any section at the clinic, you can express interest through our Volunteer Interest Form.
In addition, we have opportunities for Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Dentists, and Dental Hygienists to Volunteer as a Healthcare Professional.
