Volunteer with Us
Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back and have a tangible impact on someone in need. Consider becoming a part of the MDS Cares Program with monthly volunteer events, and make a difference in your community today!
If your office, dental school, or community health center participates in a volunteer event, we encourage you to share the details with the MDS and tag us on social media @massdental.
