I’m a volunteer there, and I know that although it’s named Jewish Community Free Clinic, anyone can make an appointment if they need medical help and are without a normal healthcare. I personally feel that it’s still underappreciated for what it does.
Students, including myself, often volunteer here. The non-medical application process that I completed was quite tricky, but the opportunity to learn is definitely worth it.
