Overview

CMMB’s Volunteer Program addresses the critical needs of our local healthcare partners and Country Offices for professionals in areas that lack sufficient resources for quality preventive and curative health services, especially for women and children.  Our Volunteer Program has placed thousands of practitioners around the world to help develop and implement community health interventions, work at local hospitals and health facilities, conduct clinical training for host country counterparts, and deliver essential medicines and supplies. CMMB’s Volunteer Program also facilitates year-round opportunities for students and professionals to serve in our New York City office where they contribute to vital operational and programmatic projects in support of our global programs.

The ultimate goal of CMMB’s Volunteer Program is to support our country teams and local healthcare partners by sending volunteers that are dedicated to strengthening local health systems and supporting a pattern of sustainable development. Our Volunteer Program Team is dedicated to volunteers and ensuring successful and collaborative volunteer experiences for all stakeholders.  The Volunteer Program includes seven different programmatic areas and facilitates meaningful volunteer placements for over 600 volunteers a year, through the development of strategic alliances with our valued institutional partners and supporters.

As Specialist, you will work side by side with the Volunteer Program Coordinator and under the supervision of the Volunteer Program Manager on implementation of all volunteer program areas. You will work with existing partners (universities, volunteer organizations, corporations and Catholic health systems), identify new strategic partners to source volunteer talent based on identified demand, and help with the professionalization of the volunteer program’s partner relationships in line with the volunteer program strategy. You will have a critical role, engaging university and Catholic partners on through outreach, relationship building, communications and events. Duties will include sourcing volunteers, processing candidates, implementing on-boarding processes, and strengthening institutional partnership in the United States and abroad.
