Volunteer with IMC
International Medical Corps (IMC) offers many exciting ways to get involved, whether working with our professional staff in the United States or with our field-based experts in offices around the world. Our volunteers work with our emergency response team to deliver life-saving care after a disaster, teach farmers about sustainable agriculture, and even build roads and clinics for poor, rural communities. IMC works on initiatives such as these in the U.S. and over twenty other countries around the world, and our volunteers are critical to our success.
Emergency Response Volunteers: IMC’s emergency response team works to minimize the loss of life and alleviate the suffering of disaster-affected populations across the globe. Our volunteer focus during this devastating time is the provision of life-saving emergency health services, primary health care, public health, and emergency nutrition. IMC is looking for highly trained medical staff to add to our emergency response roster, which requires that volunteers be willing to deploy rapidly—usually within 72 hours—and for a duration of 2–8 weeks. (Preference is given to those able to deploy for longer durations.) In most instances, volunteers will be required to pay for their own flights, but will receive a food allowance for each day spent in the field, shared housing, and emergency medical evacuation insurance. Apply to be an Emergency Response Doctor or Emergency Response Nurse.
Non-Medical International Volunteers: This program is open to trained professionals from a wide variety of fields with a minimum two-month window of availability. These volunteers are sometimes eligible for the cost of a flight, and do receive a daily food allowance, shared housing, and emergency medical evacuation insurance. In some instances, depending on funding, duration of contract, and the person’s specialty, the volunteer may be eligible for a monthly stipend. Apply to be a Non-Medical International Volunteer.
Domestic Volunteers: Our Domestic Volunteers work either part-time or full-time at IMC offices in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., or London, assisting with a broad variety of administrative and programmatic tasks, depending on work experience and background. IMC is unable to offer compensation or benefits for Domestic Volunteers. Click here to apply for Domestic Volunteer positions.
Graduate Internship Program: This program is designed for graduate students enrolled in universities with programs providing class credit and stipends for internships with international NGOs. This is a highly competitive program. To apply for the Graduate Internship Program, click here.
Due to the high volume of inquiries IMC receives about its volunteer opportunities, we can only respond to those candidates matched with appropriate opportunities. We do invite you to check the website, though, as new opportunities will be posted regularly.
