Join one of our mission teams


Smile Network is seeking qualified, experienced medical & non-medical volunteers to join our surgical mission teams.


We are currently accepting applications for plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, registered nurses, and certified surgical technicians.

(A one-time, non-refundable application fee of $50.00 is required to process your application.)


The costs associated with participation in a mission are approximately $3,000 per person. Monies raised by Smile Network fund transportation and lodging for the volunteer team members and pay for necessary medical supplies to support the missions. Since Smile Network relies on volunteer participation, we ask that every individual in our organization contribute their time and talent to make these missions possible. In doing so, Smile Network is able to keep the actual costs to our mission volunteers to a minimum.


Participants are responsible for evening meals, any personal expenses and a Mission Participation Fee for each trip (participation fee ranges from $350.00 to $1,000 depending on location).
