Over 275 wonderful, caring volunteer practitioners
make the Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) treatments and support
services provided by CMCC possible.
If you are a licensed acupuncturist, certified
massage therapist, therapeutic imagery specialist, Western herbalist,
homeopath, driver, Spanish or Chinese language Interpreter, clinic or
office support person, we warmly invite you to join our community of
volunteers.
There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities
at CMCC. There are approximately 610 clients at any given time, all
needing CAM treatments and support services, now in two locations.
The first step is to fill out the CMCC
Volunteer Application Form. This form can be downloaded or printed

volunteer application process and have any questions answered (510)

you will be contacted and an in-person interview scheduled.
Clinic shifts are available in San Francisco on Fridays and Saturdays
only. In Oakland on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
