You Make a Difference!
Charlotte Maxwell Clinic volunteers make our integrative cancer care possible. They are the sole providers of our healing treatments, help with logistical clinic support, and help steer the organization in the right direction. The amount of heart, energy, and commitment every CMC volunteer contributes is HUGE.

Practitioners: If you are a licensed acupuncturist, certified massage therapist, guided imagery specialist, Western herbalist, or homeopath, we warmly invite you to join our community of volunteers.
Program Support: Our team of program support volunteers helps ensure that our operation runs efficiently. If you would like to offer support as an interpreter, driver, or administrative volunteer (office work, community outreach, fundraising, etc.), we are most appreciative of your skills.
Time Commitment
We ask our Practitioner volunteers to commit to at least one 4-hour shift per month for 12 months. Many of our volunteers commit to more, including signing up to be on call as a substitute in case another volunteer needs to cancel their shift. Program Support volunteers may help on a shorter-term basis for special projects and events.
Clinic information
Volunteers work in our centrally located, public transportation accessible Oakland clinic. Generally, the clinic is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 411 30th Street, Suite 508, Oakland, CA 94609. Please check Clinic Updates for the latest news about clinic hours.
Volunteer Orientation & Training
Once we receive and review your application, we will contact you to discuss your interest and availability. If it seems like a good fit all around, the next step is to attend a Volunteer Orientation at the clinic.
Upon completion of your Volunteer Orientation, you will be invited to complete our New Volunteer Training. After the conclusion of this training, you will be eligible to begin your first shift or assignment as a CMC volunteer.
New Volunteer Trainings consist of video-recorded modules and a half-day in-person training/orientation at the clinic. From time to time, CMC also offers special interest and CEU workshops for our volunteers.
