VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
At Pan American Health Service our Volunteer's Program aims to promote the giving spirit in order to connect the volunteer to the people who receive their help.
About Our Volunteer Program
The hard work of our dedicated staff has been supplemented by countless volunteers over the last 50 years. Great-hearted professionals and students of various fields have become good friends and valuable colleagues of our organization. They bring with them a message of goodwill and love, not only for the children on our campus but also to community members around Lake Yojoa .
