Medical Center Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune! All the volunteers at NMCCL are American Red Cross volunteers, and this web page will help you get started.

The mission of the American Red Cross at Camp Lejeune is two-fold: to provide volunteers to the Naval Medical Center and to deliver Emergency Communications to service members world-wide.

Who can volunteer and how do I sign up?

Anyone who is at least 15 years of age may volunteer.
 

All interested individuals must complete an application at redcross.org/volunteer and apply for the "Military Treatment Facility Clinic Camp Lejeune" position.  The application requires a background check and after the application is submitted, a staff member will reach out about Volunteer Orientation which is held on an as-needed basis. 

During orientation volunteers will learn interesting facts about Red Cross history and its current work around the world, as well as the immunization and training requirements needed to volunteer at the hospital.  The orientation also includes lessons on HIPAA, OPSEC and bloodborne pathogens.  

What role do volunteers have at NMCCL?

Volunteers serve at the Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune and its branch clinics. Our volunteers give an average of 230 volunteer hours every month in15 different clinics and areas. Last year, our volunteers logged 2,751 hours at the medical center alone. The volunteers assist the medical center in providing for the health, welfare, and morale of patients and staff.
