volunteering at a free clinic,,,,,1st step?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

There are a couple of free or 'reduced rates' clinics in my home town. They offer a good alternative to the dept of health clinic and are mostly run by volunteer staff.

I like their purpose and I think I could be of good use volunteering a couple of shifts a month,,,,but here is my problem.

I have called, I have emailed, I have faxed my resume, but no one gets back to me. There is a number for people who want to volunteer, but it tells you to leave a message, which I do. The email is a general info@healthcenter.

I have physically walked in, but they were so busy, I couldn't disrupt.

Really, I would love to volunteer, and I know they need nurses coz they are always so busy, but I can not force them to allow me to volunteer.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get someone to actually talk to me? (I am not doing this for a job since I already have a job, I just feel like I have a shift or two I could spare each month)

Thanks!
