Frequently Asked Questions:
What Happens if I Say I Want to Volunteer?
Non- Medical Volunteers: Once your paperwork has been received via email or in person, you may begin volunteering at our Thousand Oaks or Oxnard clinic sites. Depending on how you are interested in helping, we may reach out to you to see if you are available for special events or projects. The more specific you are about what you wish to do the better we can match you with rewarding experiences.
Can I fulfill Community Service Hours at WFC?
Court-Mandated Hours: At this time we have limited capacity for those seeking court-mandated community service hours. Please email our Volunteer Coordinator at westminstercoordinator@gmail.com to learn if we are able to accommodate.
School/Employee Hours: If you are seeking community service hours for school, an organization or place of employment, you will be responsible for any and all tracking documentation, including documenting your volunteer hours on your own time sheet if required. You may request that the volunteer supervisor initial your time sheet at the end of your volunteer commitment for each day. If you require other documentation of your volunteer hours including a letter written on official Westminster Free Clinic letterhead, please still keep track of your hours and notify the Volunteer Coordinator of this request.
Can I be a scribe at WFC?
WFC has a comprehensive scribe training program that takes approximately 2-3 months to complete. If you can commit to volunteering at WFC for at least 1 year, you can complete the scribe training program and scribe for our volunteer healthcare practitioners. You must be a college student preferably pursuing a degree in healthcare or college graduate and pass an online medical terminology exam (we will provide the link) before you start our scribe training program.
Do I need to be COVID-19 vaccinated to volunteer?
YES, we require all our volunteers to show proof of vaccination to volunteer during any of WFC’s activities..
