Enhance Your Life While Improving the Well-being of Our Community

In order to participate in Roberto Clemente’s volunteer program, a program donation is due from each volunteer before arriving to Nicaragua.

The minimum donation amounts are as follows:

  • For students, non-medical professionals, and medical professionals with 3 years or less of work experience we require a donation of $400 which covers up to two weeks of volunteering. If you would like to stay longer please contact our Volunteer Coordinator to get the full amount. This donation also covers local transportation from the hotel to the clinic everyday.
  • For medical professionals with 3 or more years of work experience we require a donation of $200 which also covers up to two weeks of volunteering.
  • Your donation also help us to pay the salaries of our local doctors and nurses who work day and night to provide quality healthcare to our patients.
  • In addition to the program donation, we also welcome donations of medical supplies. Please note that there are some restrictions as to the types of medications that can legally be brought into Nicaragua. Please contact us at 410-369-0512 – with any questions.
