Volunteer

"Give health workers what they need
and they will do what must be done"

Since our founding in 1958, volunteers have remained central to Project HOPE’s mission as the “People-to-People Health Foundation.” Project HOPE volunteers are a select group of subject matter experts representing diverse specialties.

Meeting the Real Need: In order to address the greatest public health challenges, Project HOPE volunteers work to support our headquarters, field staff, strategic partners and communities in underserved regions to ensure that health workers have the knowledge, tools and support systems needed to achieve better health outcomes. We work at the epicenter of today’s greatest health challenges, focused on:

1. Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health
2. Disasters and Health Crises
3. Infectious Disease
4. Chronic Diseases
5. Health Policy

Project HOPE volunteers serve to:

1. Build Capacity of health care workers and health systems
2. Improve Quality of health care and global health programs
3. Provide Care during emergencies and health crises
4. Support Operations through other expertise such as information technology, monitoring and evaluation, fundraising and communications.

In 2017, 9 out of 10 volunteers highly rated their volunteer experience with Project HOPE and would recommend the experience to a friend or colleague.

If you are a professional in health care, public health, or health system support fields or have a unique skill set that could contribute to Project HOPE’s mission, we invite and encourage you apply! With wide-ranging opportunities to use your expertise and compassion, you will be able to give back, improve the lives of those less fortunate, and truly make a difference in this increasingly complex, interconnected world.
