FCHD volunteer opportunities, internships, and preceptorships are designed to offer high school, undergraduate, and graduate students the opportunity to gain experience within a public health agency, while in some situations offering students the opportunity to obtain academic credit. Students may perform work directly related to their academic field, or in an area of study in which they have an interest. The student must have permission from their institution before participating if the internship or preceptorship will fulfill academic requirements.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. In Fairfield County, volunteers who work in and around the health care field are members of the MRC and are willing and able to assist our public health teams when a public health emergency occurs.

FCHD welcomes volunteers, both individuals and groups, who want to help with anything from working a special event, to helping in the office or clinic, or working on special projects. Contact us at 740-652-2800 to ask about volunteer opportunities.
