Volunteer Opportunities
The UC Davis MIND Institute’s volunteer program plays an important role in patient care, research support, and administrative assistance.
When you become a volunteer you join a team of caring professionals whose mission is to improve the health of the people in the community they serve. The MIND Institute's volunteer team is made up of men and women from diverse backgrounds, high school and college students, retirees, transitioning adults and working professionals.
Child Life Program:
Volunteers work with the MIND Institute’s Child Life Specialist, providing play activities and supervision for children in the research clinic and Massie Family evaluation clinic. Volunteers can also gain educational experience from observing children in a research or evaluation setting. Volunteer duties may include filing, assisting with research projects preparing/cleaning toys and play areas.
Contact Erin Roseborough, Child Life Specialist at (916) 703-0222 to discuss becoming a volunteer.
Resource Center / Front Lobby Reception:
Volunteers provide resource information/support to patients, families, the community, and MIND Institute staff and faculty. General office skills are welcomed when volunteering for the Resource Center (computer skills, phones, database input, etc.).; additional opportunities include assisting with special events and tours.
