By nature, I'm not the type to volunteer. But four days in Ensenada with Los Medicos Voladores -- watching the doctors and dentists work so tirelessly, seeing the valuable contributions of the volunteers, noticing the appreciative faces of the patients and children -- had a discernible effect on me. Beyond that, the camaraderie and sense of family within my travel group made me feel as if I belonged. It felt better and more rewarding than a week on the beach in Hawaii. I will definitely return.

To volunteer for a trip, visit our calendar to decide which upcoming scheduled trip you're interested in, and then register here. Please note that to ensure we have a full clinic team for each trip, Mexico trip registrations in particular will be completed on a first-come, first-served basis by team role, with each team comprised of at least one doctor or registered nurse, a pilot, an interpreter, and a healthcare support specialist. Central America and Oasis trip registrations are also filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority by team role offered as needed.
Our patients rely on our clinics for their healthcare, and our village contacts require sufficient advance notice to provide logistics and get the word out about the clinic's operating dates, so please sign up for trips as far in advance as possible, per the guidelines outlined on our trip signup page. Similarly, please consider your registration a firm commitment to take part in the trip; cancellations by individual team members cause the entire trip to be cancelled if a replacement team member cannot be found; and a cancellation policy does apply.
