Need a Volunteer?

Dear campus and community partners,

I hope this finds you well! I am writing to see if you might be interested in receiving assistance from a public health student volunteer this fall.

I am teaching HS 317: Maternal, Child and Sexual Health this semester in the public health program. For this class, students are required to volunteer for approximately 3 hours with a campus or community agency on a health event or project that is related to maternal health, children's health, family health, or sexual health.

Examples of events which would occur in a certain place at a certain time could be: health fairs, early childhood fair, Girls on the Run 5k, parent nights, rallies, vigils, Walk to School Day, Safety Walk, Kid Stuff Swap, Sex Fest, Youth Fest, etc.
Examples of projects which could occur at a flexible time or place could be: advertising for an event, creating health-related materials such as newsletters, brochures, flyers, bulletin boards, etc.; conducting research; assisting in meetings or focus groups; helping with a fundraising event; creating or revising resource guides; or any activity that would assist in program planning, implementing, or evaluating.
Ideally, this will be a mutually beneficial experience: students will have the opportunity to learn more about public health agencies in our community, and you'll receive some volunteer labor to help you meet your programs' goals!
The three hours of service would need to be completed by the beginning of December.
If you are interested, please reply with a quick "yes!" on or by Monday, Sept. 9, and we'll take it from there!
Also, please feel free to pass this along to others who may be interested in this opportunity.
Many thanks,
Rachel
