Volunteer at the clinic
Across North Carolina, 92% of charitable-clinic work is done by volunteers. At MERCI that includes doctors and dentists, and it also includes the people who answer phones, greet patients, and keep the records straight.
Who we're looking for
At MERCI Clinic, we believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
We're looking for volunteers with heart and compassion who can be part of our team that works to meet every patient where they are, without judgment.
Join a team that believes caring for people means seeing the whole person, not just the problem they came through our doors to solve.
Sound like you? Come be part of the MERCI difference.
Two ways in
We ask all volunteers to commit to two 4-hour shifts per month, a minimum of 8 hours monthly.
Medical and dental volunteers
Physicians, PAs, NPs, dentists, hygienists, nurses, pharmacists, and lab techs. You see patients. Our staff handles the rest.
Community volunteers
No medical background needed. Front desk, phones, data entry, fundraising, and grounds work all keep the clinic running.
¿Hablas español?
Spanish interpreters are one of our most needed roles. Fluency is the only requirement.
