Volunteer Opportunities
Union Gospel Missions needs your help
We are looking for dentists, registered dental hygienists, and dental assistants to volunteer. Our clinic is open from 6-9 Monday and Thursday nights. Many of the patients we are seeing are homeless but there are also other patients who do not have insurance or are on a state plan and cannot find care elsewhere. On those nights we are performing extractions and some restorations.
I am also looking for RDH’s to volunteer on Mondays from 9-4 and Thursdays 10-4 to perform cleanings.
We are located at 435 University Ave E in St. Paul. You can contact Jessica through email at jpoole@ugmtc.org or phone 651-789-7604. Thank you so much!
