What Are The Benefits Of Volunteering With MEDLIFE For College Students?
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It. Check Out Some COLLEGE Student Volunteer Testimonials!
It’s such an amazing experience. You really get hands-on experience working with doctors, and you get to just meet a ton of cool people, I definitely recommend it.
Here we’ve learned a lot about different medical systems in Peru and how patients have different needs than the ones we were used to. I think gaining some more cultural competency is huge for our future career in medicine.
I found it really incredible attending this Service Learning Trip. I really recommend it because it is a very eye opening experience. If you’re thinking of joining MEDLIFE and you’re afraid of coming here alone don’t worry, I made new friends and I’m sure we’ll stay great friends after the program.
Summer Volunteer Programs For College Students
Our Service Learning Trips are the perfect opportunity for college students and young adults searching for non-religious mission trips that focus on long-term solutions rather than photo-ops and performative activism.
MEDLIFE’s Approach: Our projects aim to leave a lasting impact once our volunteers have left. Many volunteer programs can fall short when it comes to follow-up care and fulfilling promises. We work to prioritize initiatives that unlock greater resources within communities, creating a ripple effect. For instance, constructing a staircase in a community can lead to providing access to land titles, water, or sewage services. We also employ a comprehensive patient follow-up program, that ensures every patient receives the full amount of care they need, rather than just a quick check up and short-term solutions.
