Ready for a life-changing experience? 

Our work wouldn't be possible without volunteers, like you. Many of our volunteers have been with us for 14+ years. If you are looking to work hard, make a difference, and form life-long friendships, this is for you.  

What you can expect:

  • 1 week of travel (usually Saturday-Saturday). This typically includes travel from home to site, screening day, 5 days of surgery, and travel day from site to home. 

  • Flights, transportation, lodging, and meals covered by Sharing Smiles

  • Long but rewarding days

  • Opportunities to connect with volunteers from across the US and the host country site

  • Interactions with some of the best patients and families in the world

  • A forever changed outlook on what is possible when people come together to do great things

While we are primarily seeking medical volunteers, we are sometimes able to invite non-medical volunteers as well.  There's a lot for everyone to do, let's talk!

We're especially in need of:

  • Pediatric craniofacial surgeons

  • Plastic surgeons

  • Anesthesiologists

  • Nurse anesthetists 

  • Scrub nurses 

  • Scrub techs

  • PACU nurses

  • Cirulators

  • Speeth therapists

  • Pediatric orthondontists

  • Spanish/English medical interpreters

  • Photojournalists
