Care Options for Kids | Global Outreach
Care Without Borders
At Care Options for Kids, compassion doesn’t stop at a state line. Our Global Outreach initiative gives COFK clinicians the opportunity to serve internationally, collaborate cross-culturally, and make a lasting impact in communities with limited access to pediatric therapy services.
Purpose in Action
Global Outreach places you directly inside communities where your expertise can create meaningful change on an international scale. You won’t observe from the sidelines; you’ll engage, collaborate, and contribute in ways that stretch your clinical perspective and deepen your impact.
Through this experience, you will:
-
Deliver hands-on therapy services to children in underserved communities
-
Collaborate directly with local therapists and educators
-
Exchange knowledge and sustainable clinical strategies
-
Strengthen cross-cultural communication skills
-
Build lifelong professional and personal connections
Clinicians consistently describe the experience as transformational — not only for the children served, but for their own growth as providers.
Camilo
Physical Therapy Assistant
"This experience brought me back to the heart of why I became a clinician. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team in Guatemala reinforced that meaningful impact comes from adaptability, collaboration, and meeting people where they are — not from perfect resources!"
Jennifer
Occupational Therapist
"Participating in the first Global Outreach event was truly amazing and left me filled with a renewed appreciation for the services we provide! I was able to collaborate with many great therapists from across COFK and in Guatemala. I had the opportunity to impact several families during sessions providing hands on treatment and strategies to assist with ongoing progress. All while getting to experience another culture, learning and making new friends."
