Volunteer Opportunities in
Community Engaged Service (V.O.I.C.E.S.)
strives
to allow students to gain practical public health experience, interact with
other students of similar interests, and incorporate social responsibility into
their academic experience. This student group encourages students to reach out
to their community by organizing and participating in volunteer community
service projects with a public health focus.
Examples of community service
projects include:
-
Development
and implementation of community health workshops for children, teens,
young adults, and adults (on asthma, HIV prevention, nutrition, and
diabetes).
-
Educational
initiatives for students and the community on topics such as violence and
global peace, women's reproductive health, obesity, and civil rights.
- Fundraising
to support local and global causes such as local food pantries, agencies
serving youth, disaster relief, and the Dominican Republic Health Outreach
Project at School of Public Health.
