Try Doctors Without Boarders. Or the Red Cross.EMT wants to volunteer for medical mission in Latin America. Any advice on how, with whom to volunteer?
One option: Hearts In Motion. Hearts In Motion is a non-profit, non-denominational charity focusing on the needs of children and families. Their home page is

Doctors Without Borders may offer a spot for EMT-Bs, but I find it far more likely that if they accept EMTs they will limit it to EMT-Ps. Also try the Red Cross. It would be worth giving JEMS or FEMA an email or call. I know FEMA has a volunteer task force that opperates within the US and they will accept EMT-Bs.





Doctors Without Borders (http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org)doe鈥?/a> recruit people who are not doctors, but I don't know about EMT-Bs. They, at the moment, are going to a lot of French speaking African countries, and I don't know anything about Latin America. Good luck.
Have you tried checking with your local branch of the Red Cross. Perhaps they can put you in contact with International Red Cross.
