Volunteer

Ways to volunteer

• Become a Clinic Volunteer by donating a whole or half day of your time and services at one of our five Denver-area clinics or on the Miles for Smiles Mobile Dental Clinic. You can even bring your entire dental team for a truly "Van-tastic" experience! You don't have to be a dentist to help out. KIND also needs dental assistants and hygienists.
• Volunteer to treat a child in our Special Referral Program. Some of our kids need specialty care such as Pedodontics, Orthodontics, Endodontics, and Oral Surgery. Share your specialty skills with our shildren in your office.
• "Adopt" a child or family in our Adopt a Smile program. Provide long-term comprehensive care to an eligible child in your practice.
• Become a Preceptor Volunteer by sponsoring and supervising a dental student who treats KIND-referred children at your office. The Preceptor Volunteer Program is offered through ACTS at the University of Colorado Dental School. Click here to e-mail KIND for more information.
• Become a Non-Clinical Volunteer by helping with our special fundraising events, such as golf tournaments, wine tasting, and continuing education. Provide administrative assistance in our main office or clinics, or donate your time by serving on a committee or on the KIND Board of Trustees.
• Become a Chopper Topper Volunteer by donating a full or half-day of your time in an area school to screen and place sealants on second-graders’ molars. Non-dental volunteers are also needed to supervise children and assist dental professionals with record keeping, trafficking, and scheduling.

We look forward to working with you in improving the dental health of Colorado's children.
