How We Do It
Volunteers and Sponsors Make it Happen

Think you might like to volunteer?

Canvasback programs are staffed from a pool of volunteer medical and dental professionals who serve from two to six weeks at a time.

Clinics are conducted Monday through Friday. Weekends are reserved for worship, rest, recreation and fellowship with the island people.

Canvasback provides living accommodations, supplies and major equipment, and can help in making travel arrangements.

Volunteers must be in sound physical condition, able to provide their own air transportation costs to the islands, and have a Christian commitment to serving others in need. For additional information about volunteering, call Canvasback or click here for a Volunteer Application.

A word about our sponsors... Much of the supplies and equipment Canvasback uses and provides to the islands is donated by big-hearted businesses. Following is a sample list of our sponsors over the years:
