haiti volunteer opportunities

Future Faith Adventures to Haiti will be available soon

Our Faith Adventures to Haiti are intense, physically demanding and emotionally challenging. Buildings are still in disarray, people are living in tent/tarp cities and people everywhere need help and support. These trips will be medically based and will be focused on those who need medical attention. Medical and non-medical people are needed for this trip; you will be exposed to images of a graphic nature and live in harsher conditions than you are use to, children are not permitted on this trip.

If you feel as though you would like to be a part of this life saving, and life changing experience please join our interest list.

Once you have been accepted as a team member you can download and complete the Volunteer Faith Adventure Packet and return it to Mariners Outreach.
