Education Transforming Community Health (ETCH) is currently recruiting volunteers for the upcoming year! If you are interested in joining, please email etchseattle@gmail.com with your completed volunteer survey (https://www.etchseattle.org/getting-involved.html) expressing your interest.
Here is a little more information about ETCH:
- They are an interdisciplinary student project associated with SHIFA, a non-profit organization based out of UWSOM.
- They offer weekly health education sessions to homeless adults in downtown Seattle. Through their community partnerships, they strive to create health education curriculum that bridges evidence-based practice and the voices of the many homeless communities in Seattle. They aim to provide knowledge, skills, and tools to improve the quality of life of their participants.
- Weekly sessions offer volunteers a great opportunity to connect with members of homeless communities while expanding their knowledge of preventative care, health systems, and social justice.
- They ask that volunteers participate in at least one session per month for at least six months – though if you’re interested in being more involved they also have more opportunities for volunteering, leadership, and advocacy.
If you have any other questions, please direct them to etchseattle@gmail.com
