The Flying Doctors are holding their annual Joshua Tree clinic Saturday March 8th and Sunday March 9, 2025. They are looking for additional optometrists as they only have a single optometrist Saturday and only two Sunday.

Can you help one or both days? They will pay for a hotel room Saturday if you choose both days.

Please contact Jeff Grabow if you are interested.

We are reaching out with an exciting opportunity to support students in our community by serving as a preceptor at the upcoming National TRIO Day at Moreno Valley College on Saturday, February 22, from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM.

SCCO is seeking one optometrist to precept a group of 6-7 optometry students as they conduct vision screenings at this event. Please note that the role of the optometrist is to supervise and guide the students—not to perform exams directly.

Key Details for Volunteers:

✅ How many ODs are needed? Only one OD is needed.
✅ How many students will they be precepting? 6-7 students.
✅ What will be done at the screenings? Students will conduct vision screenings with entrance testing. Those who fail the screening will be referred to the refraction station, where Power of Sight will provide glasses. No dilation or ocular health exams will be performed.
✅ What equipment is needed? Volunteers do not need to bring any equipment—Power of Sight will provide phoropters and all necessary tools.
✅ How to volunteer? If you’re interested, please email Christine Castañon at [email protected] to confirm your participation.

This is a great opportunity to support optometry students while making a meaningful impact on the community. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your time and support!

We invite you to participate in a special volunteer event proudly hosted by VSP, Lionsgate, and the Power of Sight Foundation. We are looking for optometrists, opticians and other volunteers to help coordinate, screen, and dispense glasses to those affected by the LA fires. 

Date: Saturday, Feb 15 and Sunday, Feb 16, 2025
Location: 2700 Pennsylvania Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90404
Time: 9 am-4 pm (9am-1pm shift, 12pm-4pm shift, or 9am-4pm shift)

As a volunteer, you will provide eye exams, assist with eyewear dispensing, and help improve the lives of individuals who were affected by the LA fires. All equipment will be provided, but of course you are welcome to bring your own. Your expertise and generosity will make a world of difference!
