Make a difference
Empowering communities through rehabilitation.
At Flexion Foundation we are dedicated to making a positive impact on individuals and communities by providing vital rehabilitation resources and support. The work happens through licensed clinicians, trained volunteers, partner organizations, and donors who make every session possible.
If you are not sure which path fits, start with a conversation. One email is often enough to find the right role or the right program for your gift.
For clinicians and students
Common questions from the people we collaborate with.
These come up most often from volunteer clinicians, students applying for scholarships, and practitioners looking at course sponsorship. If yours is not here, email donate@flexionfoundation.org.
Do I need to be a licensed clinician to volunteer?+
No. The Foundation runs on a mix of licensed clinicians, students in healthcare programs, event coordinators, administrators, translators, and logistics volunteers. Clinical roles require licensure; everything else does not.
Do I need a California license to provide care through a Foundation program?+
Yes. Foundation programs currently operate in California, and all direct patient care is delivered by partner clinicians licensed in California. If you hold a license in another state, non-clinical roles are still open to you.
What is the time commitment for clinician volunteers?+
Roles range from a single event like a half-day community clinic to an ongoing shift of a few hours per week for a standing program. Tell us what you can offer and we match you to a role that fits.
Is there malpractice coverage for Foundation volunteer work?+
Coverage is role-specific and is confirmed with you in writing before any clinical role begins. No clinical shift starts without that confirmation in hand.
Do volunteer hours count toward CEUs or continuing competency?+
The Foundation does not award continuing education credit. Whether any volunteer activity counts toward continuing competency is determined by your state board under its own rules.
Who is eligible for a scholarship?+
Students enrolled in accredited rehabilitation and sports medicine programs (PT, OT, AT, SLP, exercise science), and licensed practitioners maintaining certifications or completing board-required courses. Priority goes to applicants planning to serve communities with limited access to care.
How do I apply for a scholarship or course sponsorship?+
Email donate@flexionfoundation.org with "Scholarship application" in the subject. Include your program or course name, the cost, your expected completion date, and a short statement about where you intend to practice. Application deadlines and award dates are to be announced.
Is there a service commitment attached to a scholarship?+
No repayment and no mandatory service contract. We ask recipients to send a short annual update about where they are practicing and what the scholarship made possible. This helps donors see the impact of their gift and supports future fundraising.
Can the Foundation sponsor my course or certification fee?+
Possibly. The Foundation funds continuing education for practitioners serving communities when cost is the only barrier. Email donate@flexionfoundation.org with the course name, the cost, your current practice setting, and who you serve. Review timing is to be announced.
Can my clinic or school partner with the Foundation on a program?+
Yes. Clinics, schools, athletic teams, and employers collaborate with the Foundation on targeted programs. The Foundation co-designs the program, funds it, and handles donor-facing reporting; the partner delivers the care and holds clinical responsibility. Email us with a description of the population you want to serve.
Will I be publicly named as a volunteer or scholarship recipient?+
Only with your consent. We do not publish names, photos, or case details without explicit written release. Public recognition is helpful for fundraising but is always your choice, not a condition of participating.
