Education Transforming Community Health (ETCH) is currently recruiting volunteers for the upcoming year! If you are interested in joining us, please email etchseattle@gmail.com with your completed volunteer survey (uwetch.weebly.com) 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 our community partnerships, they strive to create a health education curriculum that bridges evidence-based practice and the voices of the many homeless communities in Seattle.
- 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 6 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
