Volunteer
Volunteerism plays a critically important role at Bright Faces, however, our approach is very strategic. We do not send large numbers of volunteers as our focus is on building local and regional capacity in the most efficient and effective way. Therefore, our team works to facilitate and assist in sending the right medical volunteers to the right places at the right time.
If you are interesting in being a medical volunteer for Bright Faces, please contact volunteers@brightfaces.org and be ready with your credentials including, license, diploma, specialty diploma, board certification, with others possibly needed.
