Volunteering at Phoenix Allies for Community Health
Way to Give Back to the Community with PACH
As a volunteer-run organization, PACH relies on volunteers to carry out our mission!
“One thing that impacts me about PACH is the fact that PACH Volunteers have given their unconditional support to me and all the other patients. I appreciate them and hold them in high esteem because they treat patients with a lot of care and respect. If you are going to give, give from the heart because the support and services at PACH are needed!” – PACH Patient
Our volunteers are the heartbeat and lifeforce of PACH. All of us play a vital role in providing free care and support to families in the Valley. No matter your background or experience, there’s a place for you here.

Volunteer Opportunities
Healthcare Providers
We are always seeking physicians, PAs, nurses, pharmacists, registered dieticians, dieticians, therapists and other healthcare professionals. Volunteers may come from primary care, specialty care, psychiatry, behavioral health, or Native/Indigenous learning and can serve based on their availability with a commitment to regular attendance after onboarding into the clinic.
Clinic Support
We offers several volunteer opportunities for community members who want to donate their time and skills to support the needs of our facilities and operations of our primary care clinic. Our clinic support team is an important role in the efficiency of our workflow during clinic days. We are currently seeking interpreters, phlebotomists, intake and pharmacy technicians.
Other Health & Wellness Support
As part of PACH’s holistic approach, we provide an abundance of other services in conjunction to our clinical services. This includes case management for our patients. This also includes hosting monthly wellness workshops covering topics such as art, dance, professional development, mental health, diabetes and cholesterol management, fitness and more!
Other Volunteer Opportunities
We understand that giving back to the community can look like many things and sometimes it doesn’t always have to be a long-term commitment or health-related to help our patients and community! PACH is also always looking for folks to help us out in moments where it is not clinical.
Real Voices. Real Care. Real Impact.
Hear From Our Volunteers.
“I am proud to volunteer for PACH.”
Our patients deserve the best we can provide and their gratitude is always amazing. The rapport established with our patients brings joy as a healthcare provider whether it be listening to a patient going through a difficult time or providing a much-needed medication. The volunteers and board members of PACH strive to provide to each patient what is necessary at every visit. I am proud to volunteer for PACH as its basic tenet that healthcare is a human right strikes a resounding chord within me.

“Volunteering at PACH has strengthened my fire and drive.”
I am an aspiring medical professional dedicated to serving my community. I’m passionate about improving access to healthcare, supporting culturally competent health education and building strong connections while providing support to marginalized populations. Volunteering at PACH has strengthened my fire and drive to pursue my purpose. The work I do here has taught me that my existence is not just to take up space but to give back and create meaningful change.

“PACH has had a profound impact on me.”
For me, volunteering at PACH is a meaningful way to give back to my community, especially as they face significant barriers to healthcare access. It’s also an opportunity to honor my heritage by supporting individuals who share similar language and cultural traditions. PACH has had a profound impact on me over the past couple of years.

“PACH helps ensure that medically marginalized communities receive essential medical care.”
I grew up in a low-income Hispanic community, so working with patients with language barriers is a reminder of why I joined healthcare. I remember going to doctor visits and my mom would not be able to communicate with healthcare workers because of the language barrier. My internship at PACH gives me the opportunity to work with uninsured individuals who are challenged by language barriers. Supporting PACH helps ensure that medically marginalized communities receive essential medical care they might otherwise go without.
