Volunteering with Acupuncturists Without Borders

Acupuncturists who are interested in volunteering need to meet specific criteria. Volunteers will treat people in a community acupuncture setting in conditions that can be physically and mentally demanding and unusual for those accustomed to a traditional clinical setting.

We are currently accepting applications for Haiti volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to go to Haiti please send an email to acaggianelli@pathwaysboston.org We expect the Haiti volunteer program to extend over a long period of time, depending on funding.

For those interested in the Military Stress Recovery (formerly Veterans) Project please email veterans@acuwithoutborders.org with your name and contact information, and whether you are interested in starting a clinic or joining an existing clinic as a volunteer.

If you are interested in volunteering with AWB to help with other tasks, such as phone calling, fund-raising, data entry, or to offer other skills, please email info@acuwithoutborders.org

We also highly recommend that future volunteers attend an AWB training and subscribe to AWB's email list at http://acuwithoutborders.org/subscriptions.php
