Volunteering Opportunities

Community service is a meaningful way to strengthen your application while making a real difference in the community. The Bay Area offers countless volunteer opportunities—whether you're interested in clinics, social services, food banks, animal care, and more. We recommend participating in at least one clinical and one non-clinical volunteer experience to build a well-rounded perspective. Below is a wide variety of local organizations to explore. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities and, most importantly, seek out causes that truly interest and inspire you!
