About The Position

La Clínica de La Raza is a non-profit, community-based health center established in 1971 to address health barriers and create better lives for the underserved.

La Clínica volunteers are individuals who donate their services to La Clínica, freely and without pressure or coercion, for civic, charitable, or humanitarian purposes without the promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation. A Volunteer can be paid only for reimbursement of reasonable expenses related to their volunteer activities. To qualify as a Volunteer, the individual must be willing to provide services according to these guidelines. If you are unsure whether your activities qualify as a Volunteer, contact Human Resources at hrteamlaclinica.org. All volunteers are accountable for delivering high-quality services. While we understand that errors can happen, it is crucial to acknowledge and rectify them promptly. If you have concerns about any aspect of your volunteer experience, please don't hesitate to speak up. If you feel something is not meeting your expectations, start by discussing it with your assigned supervisor or coordinator. If the issue persists, you can escalate the matter to the department manager or Human Resources for further support. At La Clinica, we strive to address all concerns promptly and effectively, with the goal of preventing similar issues from arising in the future. Promotors and Peer Educators who decide to formalize their role as Volunteers of La Clínica are distinguishing their commitment to support La Clínica activities and step into a more involved role in the delivery of community education and services. Volunteers are then committing their time with greater regularity and involvement. By formalizing their role as Promotors and Peer Educators, these dedicated individuals amplify their commitment to La Clínica's mission and mission-critical activities. As Volunteers of La Clínica, they transition from occasional involvement to a more sustained and engaged partnership, enabling them to make a greater impact in the community through regular and meaningful contributions La Clínica reserves the right to release a volunteer for failure to uphold the Volunteer Service
