Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in Volunteering?

Volunteers in Medicine Jacksonville depends on clinical and non-clinical volunteers from all walks of life to provide free, quality healthcare to the working uninsured living in Northeast Florida. Volunteers come to us with diverse experience and skillsets. Whether you are interested in volunteering in the clinic, out in the community and through a remote project at your location, VIM Jax has an activity ready for you to make a difference.

We have currently put our volunteer applications on hold. We will be seeking new volunteers at the end of Summer 2026. Please check back with us at that point in time.
