Turning Points provides, coordinates, and facilitates services to prevent and reduce homelessness in Manatee County.
The negative impacts of poor dental health goes well beyond just having bad teeth, they also affect overall health, employment, medical cost, quality of life, relationships and well-being. 98% of Project Smile patients reported an improved quality of life!
In order to help provide essential free dental services, which include cleanings, fillings, extractions and dentures, we are looking for an amazing volunteer dental receptionist to assist with greeting, sign in patients, answering phones, setting patient appointments, answering patient questions, and performing other tasks when needed. Bilingual is a plus and on-site training will be provided.
Time commitment is at least one shift per week either 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM or 12:00-4:00 PM. Time commitment can be shared between two volunteers.
We love our volunteers and hope you will consider giving time to help others.
