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.

M2H volunteers commit to:

  • Completing the online application, which includes submitting a $100 deposit
  • The Mission Volunteer Fee of $5,000 USD.* This amount covers the cost of airfare, 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. 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

 

*The Mission Fee has the following deadlines and requirements:

  • $100 with Mission Application (this is considered a non-refundable tax-deductible donation)
  • Additional $2,400 due 60 days prior to mission departure
  • Remaining $2,500 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.
  • All volunteers are required to either pay the fee or fundraise all or part of the $5,000 mission fee. The $100 from your application is included in this amount. The full amount is due 30 days prior to departure. If the total amount of $5,000 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.
