Volunteer With Us
Become a Volunteer
SLO Noor Foundation depends on the involvement of volunteers who provide a variety of services, in both clinical and non-clinical capacities. Volunteers come from all walks of life, ranging in age from 18 to retirees. They are able to supply clients with services that would be difficult to otherwise obtain.
If interested, fill out the respective form, or email us at volunteer@slonoorfoundation.org with any questions. We look forward to meeting you!
SLO Noor Foundation proudly partners with Americorps and College Corps

Clinical Volunteer FAQs
-
Because the SLO Noor Foundation is a 501(c)3 free and charitable clinic, we have medical malpractice liability coverage provided under the Federal Tort Claims Act which covers all volunteers who work at our facility.

Please check our Contact page for the most current medical, dental, and vision clinic hours. Note that hours may expand in the future depending upon the availability of volunteers.
You can volunteer for any days you want and any hours within that day you prefer. When you volunteer, you are not locked into ongoing or continuing schedule. For example, you do not have to volunteer “every Friday” or “first Wednesday of every month."
Similarly, you can choose the hours you want to work during the day you volunteer. For example, you may choose to work 9 am-1 pm or 1 pm-4 pm. If convenient for you, we may be able to have SLO Noor patients come to your office for occasional appointments.

Prior to their visit, SLO Noor's clinic staff screen all medical, dental, and vision patients for health coverage, income level, and employment status, although it is only required that medical and vision patients are uninsured to receive services. Patients are eligible for SLO Noor dental care if their income does not exceed 200% of that year's Federal Poverty Level. This is the current standard for many free clinics in California.
