Thank you for your support of the Thousand Smiles Foundation!

The Thousand Smiles Foundation, established in 1985 by a dedicated group of Rotarians, has grown significantly over nearly four decades. We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries, dental care, and other medical services to children in need, primarily in Ensenada, Mexico. Our clinics bring together surgeons, dentists, nurses, translators, and support volunteers who donate their time and skills to restore health, function, and confidence to every child we treat. Volunteers are the heart of our mission—helping deliver smiles, hope, and healing to families who otherwise couldn’t access care.

You are eligible to join us for our February 6-7, 2026, clinic in Ensenada! We've instated a new volunteer registration system to help track our positions and the number of attendees, and to make it easier to communicate.

Each clinic, we'll release the spots via this ticketing system roughly a month in advance. We encourage you to register early to reserve your spot via the ticket. Each ticket will be reviewed to ensure you have correctly applied. You will be contacted if you are for some reason not eligible.

You must re-register for every clinic, as there is no automated system.

For details on the timing, location and expectations, see our Volunteer page.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Ensenada.
