Available Program Dates & Locations

Unite For Sight's Global Impact Fellows come from countries throughout the world and are 18 years and older, and there is no upper age limit. Unite for Sight's Global Impact Fellows participate in pre-service training and orientation that ensures that volunteers are fully prepared to contribute to the success of the Unite For Sight programs. The programs are locally led and managed by our partner eye clinics that provide year-round high quality eye care and continuity of care for all patients. Unite For Sight's Global Impact Fellows work with local ophthalmic nurses, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to support and assist the clinic in outreach programs that reduce all of the barriers to health care, including financial, transportation, and education barriers. The programs in which you, as a volunteer, would participate are sustainable, apply best practice principles in global health and development, and achieve effective change.

Volunteer Abroad

“
Unite For Sight is the only organization that has been able to give free treatment in this settlement since I have been on this refugee camp, and right now there are people coming all the way from Liberia here for help from Unite For Sight. Many of our patients have returned to Liberia with the good news about Unite For Sight in the refugee camp in Ghana
”
