Volunteer

Tri-County Dental Health Council needs the dedication of volunteers to achieve our mission. We offer the following volunteer opportunities to those who want to contribute their time and services to improve oral health for disadvantaged people:

Emergency Assistance Program

Volunteer dentists provide emergency dental treatments in their own offices to unemployed or low income, uninsured individuals. Specific treatment is decided by the treating dentist, and it is done "pro bono". Commitment: no more more than one patient per month.

 

Senior Denture Program

Dentists volunteer to provide denture servces to uninsured low income older adults. Commitment: Volunteer dentists decide the number of patients they will treat per year.

 

Board of Directors

Board members can be dental professionals or other business professionals from Wayne, Oakland or Macomb Counties. The Board's role is to set policy for the Council and to ensure through active fundraising its vitality as a community resource.

 

Office Support

Volunteers assist Council staff with data entry, follow-up on program activities, compliation of statistics and some administrative duties.
