General Information

Becoming a Volunteer

Start by completing the online application available via the link below. 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 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.

More Information and FAQs

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.
