Volunteer Program

Introduction

The mission of Waterfall Community Health Center is:

“To promote access to quality integrated health services that meet the needs of individuals with barriers to care to on the Southern Oregon Coast”

To that end, Waterfall Community Health Center (WCHC) has created a volunteer program, to allow for more community involvement, promote services, and engage patients in therapeutic outreach opportunities.

WCHC has several programs, Veggie Rx, Parking Lot Bingo, Mobile RV Clinic, and a Garden Program that will be strengthened with volunteer contributions. WCHC will develop a garden to further promote gardening as a therapeutic, healthy activity, while also teaching people the value of nutritious food. The different programs will require different levels of commitment from volunteers. This report is a guide for executing a sustainable and effective volunteer organization, that incorporates the various programs, and a model that allows for growth within the organization.
