VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION

There are currently no volunteer orientations scheduled. Please check back soon for an updated schedule.

"You must become the change you wish to see in the world."
~Ghandi

The first step to becoming a volunteer with Whitman-Walker Clinic is to attend a VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION (VO) session. These sessions occur once a month. At VO, the Volunteer Resources (VR) staff provides prospective volunteers with an overview of WWC (it's history, programs/services) and volunteer policies. Plus, prospective volunteers will hear from staff members who supervise volunteers, learn about our current opportunities, fill out our volunteer application and be able to ask questions.

LOCATION: 1407 S Street, N.W.

Time: 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

PARKING/METRO: On-street parking is readily available. We’re just four blocks away from the U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Metro station on the Green line (exit at 13th/U Streets, walk one block west to 14th Street, then down three blocks to S Street).

No RSVP is needed. Please check our Calendar for the next VO date.

Due to building security requirements, you must arrive by 6:30 pm to attend VO. If you are late, you will likely not be able to enter the building.

To find out what our volunteer needs are, please check out our current opportunities list. Please note the location, hours and qualifications of the positions. Non-clinical direct client service and program/administrative support positions are open to the general public. ALL clinical positions, however, require FULL licensure. Limited numbers of clinical internships are available through the appropriate department (medical, mental health, etc.). Non-clinical internships (program support/operations) are also available and those who are interested can view a list of current internships. NOTE: It's best to check with us at the beginning of the same month of the VO you'll be attending. These listings are updated monthly; positions change from month-to-month.

Thanks very much for your interest in becoming a volunteer with Whitman-Walker Clinic! We truly depend on the skills, time, talents and hard work of our volunteers to help us in this vital work. We appreciate your interest in joining our WWC volunteer community and look forward to meeting you at VO!
