Description

Helping Hands and Beyond is dedicated to making a difference in people's lives by promoting healthy living through teaching preventative measures, nurturing, and to foster quality of life. This is provided through services that are directed by volunteers, such as the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of a person. We continue to provide services in our local community and abroad. If you're a warm and caring individual who would like to offer time and talent in helping others to improve individual well-being, builds self-confidence and promotes self esteem; this opportunity is for you! This opportunity will increase overall satisfaction. It's a life changing experience.

Volunteers will work independently and as a team in a Hospital/clinic setting treating children and adults. Each person's assignment will be based on your current specialty. Areas of request include: the Emergency room, the Operating room, The ICU, OB/PEDS, and a dental clinic, Grant writing, Marketing and public relations. Our other main focus is working with orphans and children from extremely poor communities with few medical resources in Hinche, Haiti. While there, volunteers will implement youth enrichment camp offering sports, arts and craft, music, dance, field trips, life skills, personal growth, and team/esteem-building activities to boys and girls ages 5 to 15years old.
