You can help Medical Teams International

You can join a team of volunteers to touch people in great need--here at home and around the world.

You can travel overseas, serve on one of our Mobile Dental Clinic units in the Pacific Northwest, volunteer in our offices or at a special event, or help sort and ship medical supplies around the world.

You can give financially to support our volunteers & to ship medical supplies.

If you are someone who prays, ask God to bless our work, to use our efforts to bring hope to people in need...and to transform our world.

Join our team! Together, we can make a difference. One precious life at a time.

For those interested in volunteering for our current disaster:

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Medical Teams International. We sincerely appreciate your desire to serve those in need.

With regard to your interest: It is a requirement that our disaster response teams be composed of pre-screened licensed/certified medical personnel with significant developing-nations experience. In addition, pre-screened volunteers are selected based on their fit with specific team requirements. Therefore, our first teams are always selected from known volunteers already on our Disaster Response Roster.

Nonetheless, we encourage you to apply if you’re interested in volunteering with our organization in the future or later during this disaster.

Please note: During the current disaster, your application will take longer to process due to the high volume of applications. We cannot guarantee placement on a team at this time.

Thank you again for your interest in volunteering with Medical Teams International. If you have any further questions please e-mail us. We will reply to each inquiry as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Disaster Response Department
Medical Teams International

International volunteers: Work & children's ministry teams

Work teams: Church, school, community and civic groups use their talents and skills on Medical Teams International work teams, traveling to places like Romania, Moldova, Mexico, Honduras and Serbia. Teams work on a variety of projects such as construction, concrete floors, adobe stoves, building latrines, general maintenance and clean water systems.

Children’s ministry teams: Teams work with children at Bible clubs and camps.

Build a team: The best way to become part of a work team is to assemble a group of people to serve with you. Contact our international volunteer coordinator, Eve Ford (800.959.4325 or 503.624.1000), to determine an appropriate location and project. Individuals may join an already assembled team, but the opportunities are less frequent.
