We are looking for Medical Doctors, Naturopathic Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathy, Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses to help in our tattoo removal program. The mission of the program is to reduce violence in our community's at risk youth and to help them re-enter school or the work force without the stigma of gang- related tattoos. We remove tattoos that pose social barriers and prevent personal growth and change. All training is provided. We are currently recruiting people who can volunteer 4 hours per month.

Please visit www.outsidein.org/volunteer.htm for more information and for a Medical Professional Volunteer Application.
