Assistant Trip Leader Role

The trip allows volunteers to understand the realities of extreme poverty first hand, personally connects them with the communities that MEDLIFE supports, and ignites action within them to join the MEDLIFE Movement in the fight for a world free from the constraints of poverty.

Your responsibilities will include assisting the Trip Leader of a group of volunteers in the operations of the trip and the mobile clinics and projects, acting as an interpreter between the medical professional or the community members and the volunteers. The ATL will help with the running of a mobile clinic, keeping the volunteers informed and leading activities like round tables. The ATL will also assist and accompany volunteers during optional activities and meals. Deal directly with the volunteers' issues and concerns, ensuring their wellbeing. Your support system will include your assigned Trip Leader and the Operation Team.
