We go where medical need is the greatest, which means we also have a considerable need for a variety of expertise. Our healthcare travelers and medical mission teams are dedicated to providing surgical education and sustainable medical missions abroad.

Volunteer Commitments

We appreciate the dozens of volunteers who donate their time, talent, and energy to missions each year. As a nonprofit organization, Mission to Heal works in partnership with volunteers to ensure that the burden of cost is not transferred to the patients we serve.

  • Completing the online application, which includes submitting a $100 deposit
  • The Mission Volunteer Fee of $3,450 USD plus airfare.* This amount covers the cost of food, lodging, and transportation for the volunteer. It also goes towards necessary item for that particular missions, such as medical supplies and fuel for the Mobile Surgical Unit. Volunteers are responsible for the cost of airfare. Mission to Heal provides a fundraising toolkit and supports each volunteer through a personal fundraising website to help raise this amount.
  • Submitting a short reflection essay no later than 2 weeks after the mission’s completion
  • Participating in the tutorials with direction from your group leader
  • Committing to behave in a modest, respectful way and refrain from taking any actions that may upset the local communities we work with

  • Additional $2,400 due 60 days prior to mission departure
  • Remaining $950 due 30 days prior to mission departure
  • All donations to Mission to Heal, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, are tax-deductible, both for yourself and for others who support you.

If the total amount of $3,450 is not reached by fundraising, you may choose to make up the difference yourself; however, any amount that has been contributed to that point is non-refundable.
