Want to get more involved with Community Health? Our program may be a great place for you to volunteer, intern, or work if you're interested in the following topics:
Every fall Community Health recruits and accepts a small group of new volunteers for our team. Volunteers learn about the health issues that impact students’ academics and wellbeing, ways to effectively address those issues, and they get the opportunity to talk about these issues with their peers.
Through training and on-going education volunteers will have the opportunity to:
Volunteers are required to attend new staff orientation in September as well as weekly Monday meetings from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. In addition, students who commit to being a volunteer are expected to give about 20 hours per semester.
Interested in volunteering? Check back in the first few weeks of the fall semester in 2013. We will have an application available then.
Interns will have the same opportunities of involvement as volunteers as well as the ability to focus more intensively on a particular project or issue. Interns will also be given more responsibility. Through training and ongoing education interns can:
Interns are required to attend new staff orientation over a weekend in late September as well as weekly Monday meetings from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. Interns are also expected to commit to working about 50 - 60 hours per semester.
Interested in interning? We will accept volunteer and intern applications in the fall of 2013. Please check back in the first few weeks of the fall semester.
We typically recruit and hire student coordinators at the end of the spring semester when many of our student employees are getting ready to graduate. In this position, students gain valuable pre-professional experience. They delve more deeply into the content areas of our program, grapple with issues that contribute to or detract from individuals’ health. They also learn more about our theoretical approaches which include, bystander intervention, motivational interviewing, and stages of change.
Student Coordinators may get the opportunity to:
Student Coordinators are required to attend weekly Monday night meetings from 5:00 – 6:30 pm and are expected to work 15 – 20 hours per week.
Interested in applying? Review the cover letter and job description then fill out an application. It's due Friday, February 15.
With up to 50 volunteers and student coordinators and a busy schedule of presentations, campaigns, and events our work is made saner and smoother by employee scheduling software donated by ShiftPlanning.
