CMMB is seeking students and professionals who can serve in the following primarily New York based volunteer positions:

• Data Analysts support our compliance experts on the programs team and help build our capacity for reporting and development of appropriate interventions.
• M&E Experts are key to continuing CMMBs data-driven decision making processes and supporting robust program monitoring and evaluation efforts at all levels of the organization.
• Program Managers help lead efforts to improve human resources for health by supporting our volunteer program, ensure professional program implementation and provide programmatic support to CMMB staff.
• Grant Writers provide vital resource mobilization support to a diverse program portfolio, helping CMMB to expand our CHAMPS programs around the world.

Locations: domestic positions are available in New York City.

Limited international opportunities are also available in Zambia and Kenya.

Becoming a Volunteer

Start by completing the online application. CMMB staff will review your application and schedule a personal interview if your background and skill set meet our needs. If accepted, all international volunteers also participate in a three-day pre-departure orientation in New York City.

Benefits of Volunteering

Each international volunteer who serves six months or longer in the field receives a round-trip ticket to their placement site, housing, a monthly stipend, insurance coverage, storytelling and fundraising training, and the opportunity to contribute to vital community development initiatives for under-served populations while building a longstanding legacy for the community.

Financial Contribution

A financial contribution is required. In addition to covering all travel costs, all volunteers contribute or raise $5,000 to help offset the cost of their trip; a minimum of $3,500 prior to departure and the remaining $1,500 can be raised while in the field.

Domestic Volunteers

Domestic (e.g. New York City or remote internships) volunteers do not have to meet the international age, licensure, or financial contribution requirements, and do not receive program benefits outlined above. We encourage New York based undergraduate and graduate students to apply for these domestic opportunities.

CMMB is seeking dedicated professionals to contribute to our mission of improving global health.

Ideal candidates are over the age of 21, have a professional degree in a health related field and possess the skills and experience relevant to working in low-resource settings.  All clinical volunteers must possess a valid license to practice.  Other requirements may apply depending on the role or placement site.

Our international volunteers are required to:

1. Contribute US$5,000 to cover some of the cost of this experience.
2. Attend a 3-day orientation in New York City before deployment to their volunteer placement site
3. Cover travel costs to and from the placement site & pre-departure orientation
4. Share stories and photos from the field

Each international volunteer who serves six months or longer receives housing, a monthly stipend, insurance coverage, fundraising training, and the opportunity to contribute to vital community development initiatives for under-served populations while building a longstanding legacy for the community.
